Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the problem of joint direction-of-departure (DOD) and two-dimensional (2D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. A novel method for angle estimation is proposed with automatic pairing. The method transforms the element space into the beamspace by employing the property of conjugate centrosymmetric array, such that the angle estimation operates only on the real-valued computation. Then, we utilize the real-valued rotational invariance relationships in beamspace to estimate DOD and 2D DOA in a fresh fashion. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm provides reduced computational complexity without the loss of estimation accuracy owing to real-valued processing, automatic pairing and computation dimension reduction in massive MIMO systems.
