A method for simultaneous design of a hybrid transceiver in an OFDM-based wideband multi-antenna system is provided. The method comprises: designing transmission/reception analog beamforming commonly used for each subcarrier by using product information of subcarrier channel information; and designing baseband beamforming for an effective channel of each subcarrier.

Method for simultaneous design of hybrid transceiver in OFDM-based wideband multi-antenna system

A communication system and an operating method thereof are for single carrier wideband hybrid beamforming based on limited feedback. A transmitter having a plurality of Tx antennas may be configured to receive limited channel information from at least one receiver each having at least one Rx antenna, schedule a RF beam for at least one stream in the receiver using the limited channel information, and perform baseband beamforming based on the RF beam.

Method and system for single carrier wideband hybrid beamforming based on limited feedback

Disclosed is a method and system for digital-analog hybrid beamforming in a millimeter wave downlink channel. A hybrid beamforming method in a downlink channel with respect to at least one user terminal belonging to a transmission apparatus includes receiving feedback information from each of the at least one user terminal; selecting at least one user terminal for transmitting a transmission signal based on the received feedback information; performing digital beamforming with respect to the selected at least one user terminal; and performing analog beamforming with respect to the selected at least one user terminal based on a prestored codebook. The codebook includes a desired number of subsets calculated based on a number of transmit antennas and a number of radio frequency (RF) chains, and each of the subsets includes a number of beamforming vectors corresponding to the number of RF chains.
