3D Beamforming Designs for Single User MISO Systems

摘要

In this paper, we study a transmit beamforming technique for multiple input single output downlink single-user systems with three dimensional antennas where a transmit antenna gain is determined in three dimensional coordinates. In general, the transmit antenna gain is controlled by adjusting the boresight of antennas in directional antennas. To derive the optimal tilting angles for the directional antenna systems, we provide the probability density functions (PDF) of the three dimensional user distribution. Furthermore, based on the PDF, the analysis for the average rates of passive and active antenna systems is presented. Simulation results verify the accuracy of the performance analysis.
