Abstract
In order to improve the performance of opportunistic beamforming in Ricean channels, we propose an improved opportunistic beamforming scheme which forms beams intelligently to the users. First, a new concept of the generalized Ricean distribution is introduced. On the basis of this theory, we propose a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator of the directions of arrival of the users, and we derive the Cramer-Rao lower bound to evaluate the performance of the ML estimator. Furthermore, the generalized Ricean K-factors are estimated by a moment-based method. With the same pilot overhead in the downlink and with the same feedback overhead in the uplink, the improved scheme considerably outperforms conventional opportunistic beamforming
