Abstract:
Utilization of massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) arrays for reliable data transmission at a very high bandwidth efficiency is one of the key techniques required for the Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless systems. In order to steer data beams to various moving targets including vehicular and aerial objects, new types of array structures are under study. One of promising candidates for such structures is the spherical array based on polyhedrons. In this paper, we investigate how the icosahedron shape can be used to perform full-dimensional beamforming to multiple receivers, and propose codebooks applicable to such a transmission scenario. The correlation performance of the proposal is verified for different codebook sizes, which is shown to exceed the greedy search algorithm performance.
