A Simplified Multiband Sampling and Detection Method Based on MWC Structure for Mm Wave Communications in 5G Wireless Networks

الملخص EN

The millimeter wave (mm wave) communications have been proposed to be an important part of the 5G mobile communication networks, and it will bring more difficulties to signal processing, especially signal sampling, and also cause more pressures on hardware devices.

In this paper, we present a simplified sampling and detection method based on MWC structure by using the idea of blind source separation for mm wave communications, which can avoid the challenges of signal sampling brought by high frequencies and wide bandwidth for mm wave systems.

This proposed method takes full advantage of the beneficial spectrum aliasing to achieve signal sampling at sub-Nyquist rate.

Compared with the traditional MWC system, it provides the exact quantity of sampling channels which is far lower than that of MWC.

In the reconstruction stage, the proposed method simplifies the computational complexity by exploiting simple linear operations instead of CS recovery algorithms and provides more stable performance of signal recovery.

Moreover, MWC structure has the ability to apply to different bands used in mm wave communications by mixed processing, which is similar to spread spectrum technology.
