In this paper, we provide a new approach which optimizes the vertical tilting angle of the base station for multi-cell multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink active antenna systems (AAS). Instead of the conventional optimal algorithm which requires an exhaustive search, we propose simple and near optimal algorithms. First, we represent a large system approximation based vertical beamforming algorithm which is applied to the average sum rate by using the random matrix theory. Next, we suggest a signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) based vertical beamforming algorithm which simplifies the optimization problem considerably. In the simulation results, we demonstrate that the performance of the proposed algorithms is near close to the exhaustive search algorithm with substantially reduced complexity.

In this paper, we have studied the implementation and adaptation of a smart antenna system for mobile terminals. We have designed a smart antenna system with switching beam structure in order to reduce the hardware and computational complexity. Additionally we have analyzed the reduction of the effect of multipath fading due to beamforming using real measurement data from commercial CDMA cellular channel environments. After analyzing the measurement data, we found out that the effect of fading reduces by ~3dB due to the effect of $2{\times}2$ beamforming in mobile terminals with 6dB beamforming gain.

LTE-Advanced system has been deployed with 2 and 4 transmission antennas (Tx) while the specification supports up to 8Tx. Due to deployment space, antenna dimension and complexity, the needs of deploying 8Tx system has not been motivated by operators. Recently, three dimensional (3D) beamforming with active antenna has attracted significant attention in the wireless industry. By incorporating 2D active array into LTE-A systems, the system offers freedom in controlling radiation on elevation and horizontal dimension. When the number of antennas increases in the form of 2D arrangement, spatial separation can be realized simultaneously in horizontal and elevation domain and vertical beam-steering can increase SINR of UEs in high floors. In this paper, we study the system operations and implementations for supporting 3D beamforming with 8Tx antennas. In our schemes, by reusing the conventional CSI feedback framework, the system can operate 2D active array without harming the backward compatibility. Evaluation results show that 3D beamforming provides capacity boosting over the conventional 2D beamforming systems while keeping same antenna structure.

This paper studies a multi-antenna wireless relay network in the presence of a jammer. In this network, the source node transmits signals to the destination node through a multi-antenna relay node which adopts the amplify-and-forward scheme, and the jammer attempts to inject additive signals on all antennas of the relay node. With the linear beamforming scheme at the relay node, this network can be modeled as an equivalent Gaussian arbitrarily varying channel (GAVC). Based on this observation, we deduce the mathematical closed-forms of the capacities for two special cases and the suboptimal achievable rate for the general case, respectively. To reduce complexity, we further propose an optimal structure of the beamforming matrix. In addition, we present a second order cone programming (SOCP)-based algorithm to efficiently compute the optimal beamforming matrix so as to maximize the transmission rate between the source and the destination when the perfect channel state information (CSI) is available. Our numerical simulations show significant improvements of our propose scheme over other baseline ones.

Multiple Antenna Technologies such as Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Beamforming provide the increase of channel capacity and the reliability of wireless link. To obtain these advantages, WiBro, Mobile WiMAX and $4^{th}$ Generation System are employing multiple antenna technologies. There exist, however, many technical issues in considering the application of the technologies or the providing of services using them. In this paper, various technical topics are discussed and simple solutions are proposed. Beamforming has several technical issues which include coverage imbalance, difficulties in providing Multicast-Broadcast Service (MBS). In Addition, network planning is a critical point from a cell extension and initial network entry point of view. In case of MIMO, network deployment is discussed in that cellular data network such as WiBro has many repeaters. MIMO mode selection for maximizing the cell capacity is also covered.

In this paper, a hybrid beamforming antenna system using broadband butler matrix and phase shifter is proposed. In the previous works, an $8{\times}8$ butler matrix is used to overcome a drawback of the $4{\times}4$ butler matrix based switched beamforming which provides only 4 beam patterns. However the $8{\times}8$ butler matrix should be designed on the bi-layered substrate using via holes due to its complex structure. It causes performance degradation. To overcome these problems, the proposed hybrid beamforming antenna system is designed on the single side of the substrate for simple structure. By addition of two phase shifter, it provide various beam patterns. The proposed antenna system provides more than 10 dBi radiation gain in the ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ scanning range by 16 input combinations.

The present paper shows that beamforming algorithm such as Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) based on array antenna signal processing can have not only anti-jamming but also anti-spoofing characteristics. A beam pattern due to the beamforming algorithm strengthens received signal power as it is formed in the incident direction of desired signal. During the process, the effect of unnecessary signals such as spoofing signals can be reduced because the beam pattern reduces received signal power in the incident directions excluding the beam pattern-directed direction. In order to analyze the anti-spoofing effect due to the beamforming algorithm, a software-based simulation environment was configured. An arbitrary error was applied between incident direction of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signal and steering vector direction of the beamforming algorithm to analyze the received signal power and required conditions were provided to see the anti-spoofing effect due to the beamforming algorithm. The used antenna was 7-element planar circular array and beam patterns were formed through the MVDR algorithm.

This paper deals with the performance comparison of jammer signal's angle spreading in the beamforming after the estimation of direction of arrival using 3D array antenna basis of the GPS signal. After the estimation of direction of arrival using array antenna, the beamforming is need for the direction of arrival by spatial filtering and the other direction are nulling for reducing intererence signal, it is possible to improving the received signal strength and quality. But we obtains the degraded performance by the angle spreading due to the multi-jammer signal in this process. In this paper, the MUSIC and LCMV algorithms are applied for the estimating the direction of arrival and for beamforming using the 5 types of 3D array antenna. we performs the comparison of performance by calculating the bit error rate applying the BPSK modem and the varying the azimuth and elevation angle of incoming jammer signal. As a result of simulation, the Curved (B) type 3D array antenna has a more better performance compared to the other type antenna.
