  • Patent number: 11616539
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a beamforming method for a massive MIMO system. Specifically, S routes of data streams to be transmitted via the antenna array are subjected to horizontal direction baseband beamforming processing, to obtain T routes of data streams; the T-routes of data streams are subjected to vertical direction digital beamforming processing to map the T routes of data streams onto a corresponding channel according to a predetermined rule; a data stream on each channel is subjected to analog beamforming processing to map the data stream on each channel onto a corresponding array element of the antenna array for transmission.

  • Patent number: 11038572
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for reducing PAR of beamforming output signals. A method for reducing PAR of beamforming output signals, wherein input base band data is for N ports and number of beamforming output pipes is M; wherein the method comprises the following steps: building a correlation matrix of the input base band data of the N ports; determining adjusting weight vector for the input data of each port in time domain based on the correlation matrix and wk being the beamforming weight vector of the total N beams for the k-th output pipe, to minimize the correlation of the input base band data of the N ports; adjusting the phase of the input data of each port in time domain based on the adjusting weight vector before beamforming. The present invention enables a reduction on PAR of the beamforming output signals and then improves LTE and 5G power control performance.
