Syntax

[wpbb,wprf] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,at)
[wpbb,wprf,wcbb,wcrf] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,at,nrrf,ar)
[___] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,at,nrrf,ar,npow)

Description

[wpbb,wprf] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,at) returns the hybrid precoding weights wpbb and wprf for the channel matrix chanmat. The weights are computed using an orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm. ns is the number of independent data streams propagated through the channel. ntrf specifies the number of RF chains in the transmit array. at is a collection of possible analog weights for wprf. Together, the precoding weights approximate the optimal full digital precoding weights of chanmat.

example

[wpbb,wprf,wcbb,wcrf] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,at,nrrf,ar) also returns the hybrid combining weights wcbb and wcrf. The input nrrf specifies the number of RF chains in the receive array. ar is a collection of possible analog weights for wcrf.

[___] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,at,nrrf,ar,npow) also specifies the noise power npow in each receive antenna element. All subcarriers are assumed to have the same noise power.

Assume an 8-by-4 MIMO system with four RF chains in a transmit array and two RF chains in a receive array. Show that the hybrid weights can support transmitting two data streams simultaneously.

Specify the positions of the transmitters and receivers in uniform line arrays.

txpos = (0:7)*0.5;
rxpos = (0:3)*0.5;

Construct the channel matrix.

chanmat = scatteringchanmtx(txpos,rxpos,10);

Specify the number of transmit and receive RF chains.

ntrf = 4;
nrrf = 2;

Specify two data streams.

ns = 2;

Set up the steering vector dictionaries for the transmitting and receiving arrays.

txdict = steervec(txpos,-90:90);
rxdict = steervec(rxpos,-90:90);

Compute the precoding and combining weights.

[Fbb,Frf,Wbb,Wrf] = omphybweights(chanmat,ns,ntrf,txdict,nrrf,rxdict);

Calculate the effective channel matrix from the weights. A diagonal effective channel matrix indicates the capability of simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams.

chan_eff = Fbb*Frf*chanmat*Wrf*Wbb
chan_eff = 2×2 complex

Precoding Weights

The matrix product of the precoding weights wpbb x wprf approximates the optimal full digital precoding weights of the channel matrix chanmat.

Combining Weights

The combining weights wcbb and wcrf, together with the precoding weights, diagonalize the channel into independent subchannels. The matrix product wpbb x wprf x chanmat x wcrfx wcbb is approximately diagonal.
