Description
Summary:For multiuser massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, to solve the problem of underutilized spatial resources caused by centralized partially-connected structure (PCS) and fixed-matching phase-control algorithm in conventional schemes, a low complexity phased zero-forcing (PZF) hybrid precoding scheme based on distributed PCS was proposed.The logical antenna subarrays with more than the number of radio frequency (RF) chains were designed, so that each RF chain could be connected to multiple distributed subarrays to provide higher spatial diversity gain.Further, by analyzing the influence of phase-control analog precoding on zero-forcing digital precoding, a phase-control analog precoding algorithm via successively maximizing users’ total subarray gains was proposed to maximize the upper bound of system spectral efficiency.Analysis and simulation results show that, compared with the conventional schemes, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the system spectral efficiency while slightly increases the computational complexity, and it is also insensitive to imperfect channel state information.
