Abstract

"A new adaptive LCMV solution that avoids DOA estimation for uplink beamforming is proposed. The use of the uplink channel covariance matrix (UCCM) instead of DOA estimation is shown to be a suitable alternative for constraints selection. The resulting LCMV adaptive solutions are then based on the LMS and RLS versions with the UCCM estimation. The new method is then evaluated for packed-like wireless systems through computational simulations."
