Abstract:
We study the multiuser detection in a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless communication system using hybrid beamformers, where uplink transmissions are considered under limited scattering. For a base station, with the condition that the number of radio-frequency (RF) chains is relatively smaller than that of users, we consider opportunistic beamforming with analog beams for multiple-signal detection and derive a closed form expression for system sum rate. By applying the minimum mean square error (MMSE)-filter with the proposed opportunistic hybrid beamforming algorithm, the system performance can be further improved. Through simulation results, it is shown that the proposed MMSE-based multiuser detection approaches are attractive for hybrid mm-wave systems to support a large number of users with a small number of RF chains.
