Low-Complexity Algorithm for Full-Array Antenna Selection based on Matching Pursuit

Abstract

Massive MIMO systems have received a growing interest since the apogee of 5G and the perspective of 6G. Massive MIMO allows an efficient usage of spectral resources and provides higher data rates. When the number of antennas increases, the energy consumption and the hardware cost in the base station also increase. The high energy consumption and processing may be addressed through the selection of antennas. Among various possible structures in the literature, the present work proposes the combination of full-array architecture to make a virtual sectorization and antenna selection using matching pursuit. The algorithm was tested in different channels with complexity reduction in our tests while maintaining bit-error rate in most scenarios.
