Dual-function hybrid beamforming and transmit diversity aided millimeter wave architecture
Dual-function hybrid beamforming and transmit diversity aided millimeter wave architecture
In this correspondence, we propose a dual-function hybrid beamforming architecture, where the antenna array is split into sub-arrays that are separated by a sufficiently large distance so that each sub-array experiences independent fading. The proposed architecture attains the dual-functions of beamforming and diversity. We then demonstrate that splitting the array into two sub-arrays provides the best performance in terms of the achievable rate as a benefit of the diversity gain obtained in addition to the beamforming gain. However, the performance starts depleting if the array is partitioned into more than two sub-arrays because of diminishing additional diversity gains, which fails to compensate for the beamforming gain erosion due to splitting the antenna arrays. Additionally, we analyze the so-called discrete Fourier transform-mutually unbiased bases (DFT-MUB) aided codebook invoked for the conceived design, which imposes an appealingly low complexity. Explicitly, we show that for the proposed dual-function sub-array-connected design, the DFT-MUB assisted codebook outperforms the state-of-the-art precoding benchmarks and performs close to the optimal precoding matrix.

Abstract
In this correspondence, we propose a dual-function hybrid beamforming architecture, where the antenna array is split into sub-arrays that are separated by a sufficiently large distance so that each sub-array experiences independent fading. The proposed architecture attains the dual-functions of beamforming and diversity. We then demonstrate that splitting the array into two sub-arrays provides the best performance in terms of the achievable rate as a benefit of the diversity gain obtained in addition to the beamforming gain. However, the performance starts depleting if the array is partitioned into more than two sub-arrays because of diminishing additional diversity gains, which fails to compensate for the beamforming gain erosion due to splitting the antenna arrays. Additionally, we analyze the so-called discrete Fourier transform-mutually unbiased bases (DFT-MUB) aided codebook invoked for the conceived design, which imposes an appealingly low complexity. Explicitly, we show that for the proposed dual-function sub-array-connected design, the DFT-MUB assisted codebook outperforms the state-of-the-art precoding benchmarks and performs close to the optimal precoding matrix.
