Enhanced Beam Alignment for Millimeter Wave MIMO Systems: A Kolmogorov Model

We present an enhancement to the problem of beam alignment in millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, based on a modification of the machine learning-based approach, called Kolmogorov model (KM). Unlike the previous KM, whose computational complexity is not scalable with the size of the problem, a new approach, centered on discrete monotonic optimization (DMO), is proposed, leading to significantly reduced complexity. We also present a Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) criterion for the advanced hypothesis testing, which does not require any subjective threshold setting compared to the frequency estimation (FE) method developed for the conventional KM. Simulation results that demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed KM learning for mmWave MIMO beam alignment are presented.
