Assumptions:The number of paths is significantly lowerthan for the sub-6GHz frequency band.The paths propagate in space and timeclusters.
Proposed Solution
Based on the perfect (or estimated) CSI,design optimal linear precoders andcombinersDecompose the optimalprecoding/combining matrices jointly for aset of subcarriers Ω, such that the analogcomponents are equal for all the subcarriersin the setFor the decomposition, use the (heuristic)objective of minimizing the Frobenius normof the error matrix
(Brief) Description of the Algorithms
BCD:Optimize in each iteration either the digitalor analog part. Assume the other one fixedIn each step, project the analog matrix tothe nearest (in Euclidean sense) matrix ofthe required set
OMP:In each of the NRF steps, choose a vectorfrom the codebook that has the maximalprojection on the remains of the matrixbeing decomposed.In each step, project out the selected vector
