Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the challenges faced by multipair massive Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay channels in 5G wireless communication systems, where high path loss and severe shadow fading between different user nodes can cause poor channel quality. To overcome these limitations, we propose a polarization selection scheme for antenna arrays combining multipair massive MIMO relay and beamforming to improve MIMO relay channel quality. Specifically, our main goal is to exploit the potential of polarization diversity to maintain and improve the link quality while maintaining the compact size of the MIMO antenna array. To achieve this goal, we introduce a dynamic weighted particle swarm optimization algorithm with contraction factor (CF-DWPSO) to select the polarization direction. In addition, we employ distributed beamforming to effectively suppress or eliminate inter-pair interference. The performance of the simulation analysis shows that CF-DWPSO combined with beamforming provides significant performance improvement of the multipair massive MIMO polarized relay channels, which further indicates that it is of great necessity for improving the performance of this system to optimize the polarization selection by combining beamforming techniques.
