Abstract
A position-aided fast beam training in mm-Wave multiuser MIMO systems (PAFBT) method is proposed, in the case of inexact position information. Position information can be used to compute the pointing direction and essentially eliminate the beam alignment overhead. But the incorrect position information will introduce the beam misalignment. To solve the estimated received nodes location uncertainty problem, a beam training scheme is conducted by transmitting the beams to cover critical areas of the received nodes to find out the best transmitter and receiver beams for establishing the links in mm-Wave multiuser MIMO systems. Mathematical and simulation analysis confirm the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional ones in performance.
