Machine Learning Inspired Energy-Efficient Hybrid Precoding for MmWave Massive MIMO Systems
Hybrid precoding is a promising technique for mmWave massive MIMO systems, as
it can considerably reduce the number of required radio-frequency (RF) chains
without obvious performance loss. However, most of the existing hybrid
precoding schemes require a complicated phase shifter network, which still
involves high energy consumption. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient
hybrid precoding architecture, where the analog part is realized by a small
number of switches and inverters instead of a large number of high-resolution
phase shifters. Our analysis proves that the performance gap between the
proposed hybrid precoding architecture and the traditional one is small and
keeps constant when the number of antennas goes to infinity. Then, inspired by
the cross-entropy (CE) optimization developed in machine learning, we propose
an adaptive CE (ACE)-based hybrid precoding scheme for this new architecture.
It aims to adaptively update the probability distributions of the elements in
hybrid precoder by minimizing the CE, which can generate a solution close to
the optimal one with a sufficiently high probability. Simulation results verify
that our scheme can achieve the near-optimal sum-rate performance and much
higher energy efficiency than traditional schemes.Comment: This paper has been accepted by IEEE ICC 2017. The simulation codes
