Abstract
The next-generation cellular system operating in millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) frequencies requires different signal processing schemes from the legacy LTE system. Among these, beam management aligns the transmitter-receiver pairs with narrow beams and serves as an essential initial acquisition procedure. This paper introduces a novel angle-based downlink precoding strategy, including beam selection and user scheduling for a full dimension (FD) MIMO-OFDM system. The highly directional mm-Wave channel allows the system to perform user/beam scheduling rather than pure user scheduling during the precoding process. A beam-based receive matrix eliminates the remaining intra-cell interference caused by overlapped beams. The performance analysis proves the superiority of the proposed precoding and scheduling strategies over the conventional technique.
