Abstract
This work employs an analysis-and-simulation technique to quantitatively analyze the performance improvements of 4×4 MIMO systems, a key element in with multiple transmit and receive antennas; created through three typical adaptive beamforming approaches: Least Mean Squares (LMS), Recursive Least Squares (RLS) and Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR). This study particularly targets the problem of severe inter-channel interference and fast channel dynamics in dense urban channels (Rayleigh fading) as detailed below. This method includes two main approaches, which are to analytically develop the 4×4 MIMO mathematical model and analyze it in the first phase, while silence shows comprehensive simulation in a MATLAB environment investigating key performance metrics such as Bit Error Rate (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). An analysis is performed for comparing convergence rate, jamming cancellation capability and computational complexity. The main hypothesis is that MVDR will provide the best interference suppression and LMS will be preferable on account of low complexity, making RLS a compromise. The results reveal the optimum beamforming structure that achieves the desired performance-complexity trade-off for practical deployment in high-density 5G networks.
