This paper introduces a low complexity method for antenna sector selection in mmWave Hybrid MIMO communication systems like the IEEE 802.11ay amendment for Wireless LANs. The method is backwards compatible to the methods already defined for the released mmWave standard IEEE 802.11ad. We introduce an extension of the 802.11ad channel model to support common Hybrid MIMO configurations. The proposed method is evaluated and compared to the theoretical limit of transmission rates found by exhaustive search. In contrast to state-of-the-art solutions, the presented method requires sparse channel information only. Numerical results show a significant complexity reduction in terms of number of necessary trainings, while approaching maximum achievable rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
