Abstract:

In millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems with massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architecture, selecting the antennas contributing most from the candidate array to transmit/receive signals is one of the effective solutions to reduce hardware cost and power consumption while maintaining high spectral efficiency. In this paper, for the communication systems where the base station (BS) equipped with massive MIMO antenna array communicates with multiple single-antenna users, the impact of limited-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) on system capacity is investigated, and two antenna selection (AS) algorithms, namely quantization-aware greedy with square maximum-volume (QAG-SMV) and group-selection (GS) schemes, are proposed to enhance system capacity for the uplink and downlink transmission, respectively. Specifically, after the quantization noise caused by limited-resolution ADCs/DACs is converted to independent additive noise, the problem of maximizing system capacity is formulated. Then, two novel AS schemes are proposed to improve system capacity. Simulation results show that the proposed AS algorithms can obtain higher average system capacity, and the computational complexity is reduced as well.
