Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method may include obtaining a first signal at a first port of a communication system. The first signal may include a combination of an incident signal and a reflected signal. The method may include performing a first processing to the first signal. In response to the first processing, the method may include performing a second processing to the first signal. The method may include estimating a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) associated with a transmission line from results of the second processing to the first signal.

Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a base station configured for beamforming estimation in a massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) radio access network (RAN) (mMIMO-RAN) may comprise a processing device and a transceiver. The processing device may be configured to obtain a channel estimate for a user equipment (UE). The processing device may be configured to compute a first power level adjustment for a downlink (DL) signal and a second power level adjustment for the DL signal. The second power level adjustment may be based on a power constraint. The transceiver may be configured to transmit the DL signal to the UE.

Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a base station configured for beamforming estimation in a massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) radio access network (RAN) (mMIMO-RAN) may comprise a processing device and a transceiver. The processing device may be configured to compute, at the base station, a precoder based on jointly maximizing the signal with respect to noise and minimizing an interference with respect to the noise using an approximate decoder. The processing device may be configured to compute, at the base station, the precoder based on a power constraint. The processing device may be configured to generate, at the base station, the precoder for precoding a downlink signal for transmission from the base station to a user equipment (UE). The transceiver may be configured to transmit the DL signal to the UE.

Abstract: According to an example, a massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) system operable for beamforming actuation may comprise an open radio access network radio unit (O-RU) having a processing device operable to: compute one or more of a predictive channel estimate, a beamforming estimate, or an antenna calibration; compute, based on an objective function having one or more of the predictive channel estimate, the beamforming estimate, or the antenna calibration as inputs, a power level for a data stream associated with a transmitting antenna path, wherein the power level for the data stream is selected to facilitate an equal-power distribution across a plurality of transmitting antenna paths; and set the power level for the data stream associated with the transmitting antenna path.
