Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we present a low-complexity method to generate a transmit beamforming vector for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We begin by introducing new definitions regarding orthogonality between two complex-valued vectors and then present new expressions of complex rotation matrices for the complex vector orthogonalization. The rotation matrices are utilized to derive the weight vector for the maximum-norm combining (MNC) process of two complex vectors, which provides a constructive basis for a new beamforming method. The proposed transmit beamforming method uses successive column combining of MIMO channel matrices based on MNC, and as a result, an approximate solution to the optimum beamforming vector is obtained. The proposed method offers a good tradeoff between complexity and performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beamforming method achieves the near-optimal performance with much reduced computational complexity, compared to the optimal beamforming scheme using singular-value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix.
