Abstract

Multi-panel MIMO is a practical antenna array structure for massive MIMO, but the optimal hybrid beamforming design has a complexity exponential to the number of antenna panels. In this letter, we propose a truncated tree based hybrid beamforming design with linear complexity for multi-panel MIMO transmission. We convert the hybrid beamforming design problem into the shortest path finding problem that is visualized by tree data structure. To reduce complexity, the tree is truncated by deleting the intermediate paths that are less likely to be the shortest path. By this means, the truncated tree based design reduces exponential time complexity to linear time complexity. Numerical results show that the proposed truncated tree based design far outperforms the heuristic max power gain beamforming design and achieves near optimal performance with a proper truncation ratio.
