Introduction

Hybrid precoding(-beamforming) is the most promising approach to reduce high hardware costs and high power consumptions in large-scale millimeter wave (mmWave) MIMO systems. Hybrid precoding combines large-dimensional analog precoding (or beamforming) via phase shifters with lower-dimensional digital baseband precoding.

A maximization problem of spectral efficiency approximately boils down to a minimization problem of the Euclidean distance between the fully digital precoder and the hybrid precoder. This problem is further formulated as a matrix factorization problem of he fully digital precoder with a product of the digital baseband precoder matrix and the analog radio frequency (RF) precoder (or beamforming) matrix. The noteworthy point is that the phase shifters impose an additional element-wise unit modulus constraints on the analog RF precoder matrix.

This package provides the codes of the proposed optimization algorithms for hybrid precoding. This code includes existing state-of-the arts algorithms, too. Most of the codes of this package come from the super brilliant project.

First to do

Run run_me_first for path configurations.

%% First run the setup script
run_me_first; 

Demo example for OFDM system

Just execute demo for the first demonstration of this package.

Simulation for narrow band system

Execute channel_realization in benchmarks/AltMinAlg/datasets/ folder to generate datasets such as `Ns=3.mat'. The script outputs the datasete file in there. You can load this generated dataset file in the script.
