Abstract
In this paper, we study the problem of beam tracking of a multipath channel in millimeter-wave massive MIMO communication system using adaptive filters. We focus on the performance of least-mean-square filter (LMS) and recursive least-squares filter (RLS) algorithms, compared to a reference extended Kalman filter (EKF), in scenarios where the wireless channel is dominated by a single line of sight (LOS) path or a small number of strong paths. The signal direction and channel coefficients are tracked and updated using these filters. Our results recommend that beamforming systems at millimeter-wave bands should consider variable number of paths rather than a single dominant LOS path. Furthermore, we show that the mean squared-error (MSE) of the innovation process gives a better overall view of the tracking performance than the MSE of the state parameters.
