Abstract

In mmWave communication system we propose a simplified Genetic Algorithm (GA) in multiple-beam combination, which helps to overcome problems such as grating-lobe in common beam-forming algorithms, and it can get a better Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) performance at User Equipment (UE). The simplified GA can select optimal antenna cells from massive antenna array with a lower computational complexity and higher power-efficiency. Theoretical analysis and software simulation show that the method can support more UEs with a higher power efficiency, reduce the bit error rate and computational complexity.
