Deep Unsupervised Learning for Joint Antenna Selection and Hybrid Beamforming

In this paper, we propose a novel deep unsupervised learning-based approach that jointly optimizes antenna selection and hybrid beamforming to improve the hardware and spectral efficiencies of massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) downlink systems. By employing ResNet to extract features from the channel matrices, two neural networks, i.e., the antenna selection network (ASNet) and the hyb...
