ON–OFF Analog Beamforming for Massive MIMO
ON–OFF Analog Beamforming for Massive MIMO
This paper investigates a new analog beamforming architecture for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where each of the multiple transmit antennas is switched to be on or off to form a beam according to the channel state information at transmitters. This on-off analog beamforming (OABF) scheme has the advantages in …
