What is conjugate beamforming?
Conjugate beamforming (CB) poorly contributes to harden the effective channel at the users. In this work, we propose a variant of CB dubbed enhanced normalized CB (ECB), in that the precoding vector consists of the conjugate of the channel estimate normalized by its squared norm.
What are beamforming weights?
Beamformer weights returned as an N-by-M complex-valued matrix. In this matrix, N represents the number of sensor elements of the array while M represents the number of beamforming directions. Each column of wt corresponds to a beamforming direction specified in ang .
What is the purpose of beamforming?
Beamforming can be used with 5G signals to overcome the obstacles 5G typically faces, including interference and range limitations. 5G beamforming enables more focused signals to be sent to a receiving device like a smartphone or laptop. The process minimizes interference between individual beams.
