Hi there,
I am writing to you today because .I would like to ask for your help in a problem I am facing with my MATLAB code for hybrid beamforming. I have written and run the code, but the result is all zeros.
I would be very grateful for any help you can provide me.
Thank you again for your time and effort.
Best regards,
sara
Hi Sara Majeed
To address the issue of obtaining all zeros as the output from your MATLAB code, I'll provide a revised version of the core simulation loop and critical functions. Please note that without the complete definitions of `generate_channel1`, `generate_channel2`, and `generate_channel3`, I'll focus on general improvements and common mistakes that could lead to zeros.
The main points of focus will be on ensuring proper matrix dimensions, handling complex numbers correctly, and ensuring that the operations are logically and mathematically sound. Here's a simplified and corrected approach:
Simplified and Corrected Core Simulation Loop
This revision assumes that your channel generation functions (`generate_channel1`, `generate_channel2`, and `generate_channel3`) work as intended and return matrices of appropriate sizes and values.
matlab codes :
% Clear environment and close figures
clear all; close all; clc; warning('off');
% System Parameters
Num_users = 8;
Ns = 2;
Fc = 60e9;
lambda = 3e8 / Fc;
TX_ant = 256;
RX_ant = 16;
N = 256;
SNR_dB_range = -10:5:20;
% Initialize spectral efficiency storage
Rate_SU = zeros(1, length(SNR_dB_range));
% Initialization of channel matrices (for illustration)
H_los = zeros(Num_users, RX_ant, TX_ant);
% Reflection coefficient vector
v = exp(1i*2*pi*rand(N, 1));
% Main Simulation Loop
ITER = 500; % Number of iterations for averaging
for iter = 1:ITER
% Example channel generation (Replace with actual function calls)
% H_los is just for illustration, replace with actual channel generation
for u = 1:Num_users
H_los(u, :, :) = (randn(RX_ant, TX_ant) + 1i*randn(RX_ant, TX_ant)) / sqrt(2); % Example LOS channel
end
% Implement the logic for effective channel calculation here
% This is a placeholder showing a loop over users
for u = 1:Num_users
% Placeholder for effective channel calculation
% Example: H_eff(u,:,:) = H_los(u,:,:) + ... (your logic here)
end
% Calculate and update rates (Replace these placeholders with your logic)
for SNR_dB = SNR_dB_range
SNR = 10^(SNR_dB/10);
% Example rate calculation (replace with your algorithm)
Rate_SU = Rate_SU + log2(1 + SNR); % Placeholder for actual rate calculation
end
end
% Averaging over iterations
Rate_SU = Rate_SU / ITER;
% Plotting (Example)
figure; plot(SNR_dB_range, Rate_SU, '-o');
xlabel('SNR (dB)'); ylabel('Spectral Efficiency (bps/Hz)');

Key Changes and Considerations:
1. **Initialization**: Make sure variables are initialized correctly, and matrices have appropriate sizes before they are used in calculations.
2. **Matrix Operations**: Ensure the matrix dimensions match for operations. Use `.*` for element-wise multiplication if needed.
3. **Complex Numbers**: MATLAB handles complex numbers natively. Ensure you're using them correctly in calculations, particularly when generating channels and applying the reflection coefficient vector.
4. **Channel Generation Functions**: Without the specific implementation of `generate_channel1`, `generate_channel2`, and `generate_channel3`, ensure these functions return correctly sized matrices and that the channels are modeled accurately.
5. **Spectral Efficiency Calculation**: This example simplifies the rate calculation. Replace placeholders with your actual algorithm, ensuring that operations on matrices and vectors are correctly performed.
6. **Debugging**: Use `disp(size(variable))` to print out variable sizes during debugging, ensuring they match expectations.
Remember, this revision is meant to guide you in debugging and correcting your code rather than being a direct drop-in replacement. Adjustments will be needed based on the specific functionalities of your channel generation functions and the exact algorithms you're implementing for hybrid beamforming.
