文摘Hybrid beamforming(HBF)has become an attractive and important technology in massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)millimeter-wave(mmWave)systems.There are different hybrid architectures in HBF depending on different connection strategies of the phase shifter network between antennas and radio frequency chains.This paper investigates HBF optimization with different hybrid architectures in broadband point-to-point mmWave MIMO systems.The joint hybrid architecture and beamforming optimization problem is divided into two sub-problems.First,we transform the spectral efficiency maximization problem into an equivalent weighted mean squared error minimization problem,and propose an algorithm based on the manifold optimization method for the hybrid beamformer with a fixed hybrid architecture.The overlapped subarray architecture which balances well between hardware costs and system performance is investigated.We further propose an algorithm to dynamically partition antenna subarrays and combine it with the HBF optimization algorithm.Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance improvement of our proposed algorithms.
