In this paper, an efficient hybrid beamforming architecture combining analog and digital beamforming is proposed to reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains. It provides a good compromise between the higher degree of freedom of digital beamforming and hardware cost and complexity. In this hybrid system, two bit RF phase shifters are used as analog beamformers due to the fact that this enables the conversion of the combinatorial optimization problem to a continuous programming formulation. The overall optimization problem for the joint design of digital and analog beamforming weights is formulated as a quadratic-cost problem which can be solved iteratively by exact penalty and semidefinite programming. Simulation results show that the proposed method designs hybrid beamformer effectively and it performs better than antenna selection for the given multicasting problem.

Two-Bit Hybrid Beamforming for Broadcasting Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-05-19) In this paper, a hybrid system consisting of analog and digital beamformers is proposed to reduce the hardware complexity of full digital beamforming. In analog beamforming part, specially chosen two-bit radio frequency (RF) phase shifters are used. Two-bit structure enables the conversion of the discrete optimization problem to a continuous programming form which gives faster and more efficient solution. The optimization problem is formulated as a quadratic-cost problem and is solved iteratively by exact p...
Antenna Selection and Hybrid Beamforming for Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Multi-Group Multicasting Systems DEMİR, ÖZLEM TUĞFE; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-10-01) In this paper, low-cost alternatives to full digital beamforming, namely, antenna selection and hybrid beamforming, are proposed for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in a multi-group multicasting scenario. The joint problem can be outlined as the design of beamformer weight vectors and power splitting ratios in order to satisfy both signal-to-interference-plus-noise - ratio and harvested power constraints at each user with minimum transmission power. We first develop an efficient algorit...
Relay-Assisted Beamforming for Multicast Systems with Energy Harvesting Capability Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-05-19) In this paper, multi-group multicasting scenario is considered where single antenna sources transmit their own information to different groups of users with the help of single antenna relays. Users have energy harvesting capability, i.e., a part of the received signal is used for information decoding while the rest is used for energy harvesting. Beamforming is performed by the relays which use amplify-and-forward protocol. The design of complex relay coefficients and power splitting ratios for the users is ...
A General framework on adaptive hybrid beamformingand channel acquisition for wideband mm-wave massive MIMO systems Kurt, Anıl; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzzaffer.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis, an efficient hybrid beamforming architecture together with a novel spatio-temporal receiver processing is proposed for single-carrier (SC) mm-wave wideband massive MIMO channels in time-domain duplex (TDD) mode. The design of two-stage beamformer is realized by using a virtual sectorization via second-order channel statistics based user grouping. The novel feature of the proposed architecture is that the effect of both inter-group-interference (due to non-orthogonality of virtual angular sec...
OPTIMUM DISCRETE DISTRIBUTED BEAMFORMING FOR SINGLE GROUP MULTICASTING RELAY NETWORKS WITH RELAY SELECTION Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-04-24) In this paper, broadcast beamforming with relay selection is considered in wireless relay networks where there is no direct link between the source and the receivers. A source node transmits common information to many users employing multiple relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. The channel state information is assumed to be available at a single relay to compute the relay weights and distribute them. Discrete relay weights are used due to several advantages including decreased overhead for ...
