In this paper, the problem of pilot beam pattern design for channel estimation in massive multiple-input multiple-output systems with a large number of transmit antennas at the base station is considered, and a new algorithm for pilot beam pattern design for optimal channel estimation is proposed under the assumption that the channel is a stationary Gauss-Markov random process. The proposed algorithm designs the pilot beam pattern sequentially by exploiting the properties of Kalman filtering and the associated prediction error covariance matrices and also the channel statistics such as spatial and temporal channel correlation. The resulting design generates a sequentially-optimal sequence of pilot beam patterns with low complexity for a given set of system parameters. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, Practical issues such as channel covariance matrix estimation are considere
In this paper, randomly-directional beamforming (RDB) is considered for millimeter-wave (mmwave) multi-user (MU) multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink systems. By using asymptotic techniques, the performance of RDB and the MU gain in mm-wave MISO are analyzed based on the uniform random line-of-sight (UR-LoS) channel model suitable for highly directional mm-wave radio propagation channels. It is shown that there exists a transition point on the number of users relative to the number of antenna elements for non-trivial performance of the RDB scheme, and furthermore sum rate scaling arbitrarily close to linear scaling with respect to the number of antenna elements can be achieved under the UR-LoS channel model by opportunistic random beamforming with proper user scheduling if the number of users increases linearly with respect to the number of antenna elements.The provided results yield insights into the most effective beamforming and scheduling choices for mm-wave MU-MISO in various operating conditions. Simulation results validate our analysis based on asymptotic techniques for finite cases.

Abstract-The performance of Neyman-Pearson detection of correlated random signals using noisy observations is considered. Using the large deviations principle, the performance is analyzed via the error exponent for the miss probability with a fixed false-alarm probability. Using the state-space structure of the signal and observation model, a closed-form expression for the error exponent is derived using the innovations approach, and the connection between the asymptotic behavior of the optimal detector and that of the Kalman filter is established. The properties of the error exponent are investigated for the scalar case. It is shown that the error exponent has distinct characteristics with respect to correlation strength: for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) 1, the error exponent is monotonically decreasing as the correlation becomes strong whereas for SNR 1 there is an optimal correlation that maximizes the error exponent for a given SNR.
In this paper, the problem of outer beamformer design based only on channel statistic information is considered for two-stage beamforming for multi-user massive MIMO downlink, and the problem is approached based on signal-to-leakage-plusnoise ratio (SLNR). To eliminate the dependence on the instantaneous channel state information, a lower bound on the average SLNR is derived by assuming zero-forcing (ZF) inner beamforming, and an outer beamformer design method that maximizes the lower bound on the average SLNR is proposed. It is shown that the proposed SLNR-based outer beamformer design problem reduces to a trace quotient problem (TQP), which is often encountered in the field of machine learning. An iterative algorithm is presented to obtain an optimal solution to the proposed TQP. The proposed method has the capability of optimally controlling the weighting factor between the signal power to the desired user and the interference leakage power to undesired users according to different channel statistics. Numerical results show that the proposed outer beamformer design method yields significant performance gain over existing methods.Index Terms-Massive MIMO systems, two-stage beamforming, signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SLNR), trace quotient problem (TQP), adaptive weighting factor.
In this paper, adaptive training beam sequence design for efficient channel estimation in large millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels is considered. By exploiting the sparsity in large mmWave MIMO channels and imposing a Markovian random walk assumption on the movement of the receiver and reflection clusters, the adaptive training beam sequence design and channel estimation problem is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) problem that finds non-zero bins in a two-dimensional grid. Under the proposed POMDP framework, optimal and suboptimal adaptive training beam sequence design policies are derived. Furthermore, a very fast suboptimal greedy algorithm is developed based on a newly proposed reduced sufficient statistic to make the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm low to a level for practical implementation. Numerical results are provided to evaluate the performance of the proposed training beam design method. Numerical results show that the proposed training beam sequence design algorithms yield good performance.
