Beamforming Based Algorithm for 5G Applications

In cellular networks, the performance of the adaptive beamforming algorithms is severely degraded by the presence of the interfering signals. In this paper, we introduce a beamforming based algorithm for 5G applications named Direction Finding for Beamforming and Synthesizing (DFBS). This algorithm combines the Direction of Arrival (DOA), adaptive beamforming, and the radiation pattern synthesizing. The proposed algorithm uses the DOA technique to feed the adaptive beamforming algorithms with estimations of the desired user direction, desired user signal, and the interfering signals with their directions as initial values. In addition, we use the adaptive beamforming process to supply the radiation pattern synthesizing algorithms with an initial radiation pattern, and the required positions of nulls. At the beamformer output, we evaluate our proposed mechanism in terms of the error convergence, tracking capabilities, and the obtained radiation pattern characteristics. At the synthes...

Beamforming Algorithms Technique by Using MVDR and LCMV

This paper presents the significance of the beamforming technique employed for the next generation broadband wireless mobile systems. The capacity, data rates, null steering and coverage of the cellular system are improved by using various beamforming techniques such as the Minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) and Linear constraint minimum variance (LCMV). These two techniques depend on the received weight vector of the desired signal. The simulation result shows that for all the improved system parameters the MVDR technique shows better results than LCMV technique. The four elements of the linear array smart antenna are used in our simulation program with the operation frequency around 2.4 GHz, noise power is 0.5dB, and the spacing between elements is λ/2 d.

A Simple Adaptive Beamforming Algorithm with interference Suppression

International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2009

Modeling and simulation of uniform linear array using Matrix Inversion-Normalized Least Mean Square (MI-NLMS) adaptive beam forming with minimum Bit Error Rate (BER) is developed for smart antenna applications. We have modeled a linear array of antennas for 20°Half Power Beam Width (HPBW) and obtained the beam formation with digital modulation of 16 point Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM).This modulation technique is used for the systems like CDMA, Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16).The algorithm have the advantage of both block adaptation and sample by sample techniques which shows that the performance of block adaptation and normalization of Least Mean Square (LMS) improves the system capacity and minimize bit error rate (BER) upto 10-4 for the signal to noise ratio of 13 dB's. The Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) allows us to send more bits per symbol to achieve higher throughput and to overcome fading and other interferences. The simulation is done in MATLAB.

Evaluating the impact of SNOIs on SINR and beampattern of MVDR adaptive beamforming algorithm

Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) is basically a unity gain adaptive beamformer which is suffered from performance degradation due to the presence of interference and noise. Also, MVDR is sensitive to errors such as the steering vector errors, and the nulling level. MVDR combined with a Linear Antenna Array (LAA) is used to acquire desired signals and suppress the interference and noise. This paper examines the impact of the number of interference sources and the mainlobe accuracy by using Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and array beampattern as two different Figure-of-Merits to measure the performance of the MVDR beamformer with a fixed number of array elements (L). The findings of this study indicate that the MVDR successfully form a nulls to L-1 nonlook signal with average SINR of 49.31 dB. Also, the MVDR provides accurate mainlobe with a small change to the real user direction when the SNOIs are bigger than array elements. The proposed method was found to perform better than some existing techniques. Based on this analysis, the beampattern not heavily relies on the number of unwanted source. Moreover, the SINR strongly depends on the number of SNOIs and the nulling level.

Adaptive Direction of Arrival Estimation Algorithms for 5G Network and Beyond

2020 International Conference on Computer, Control, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering (ICCCEEE), 2020

Multiuser-multiple input multiple output (MU-M1MO) systems can provide a substantial performance for cellular networks by applying direction of arrival (DOA) technique, in which the direction of sidelobe signals can be estimated. Therefore, this paper presents a different adaptive DOA algorithms where the performance of communication networks can be enhanced, in the meantime the minimizing interferences. Meanwhile, The DOA algorithm such as multi signal classification (MUSIC), minimum norm (Min-Norm), minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) and Bartlett algorithms are studied and compared extensively regarding the estimation angles and peak power spectrum. In this regard, uniform linear array (ULA) antenna is employed to construct the weight vector for incoming sensor signals. Furthermore, this paper compares the DOA algorithms concerning the number of antenna elements as well as the incoming signal angles. The simulation results approve that the algorithms are likely have the same performance in accuracy of scanning angles. However, it is realized that all algorithms have different peak power values in order to beamwidth. Moreover, the results indicate that the DOA algorithms with the different number of antenna elements have a significant impact on a directivity and gain. Hereafter, this work can be extended to higher frequency of mmWave communication with massive number of antenna, which can meet the requirement of fifth generation (5G) network.
