Abstract
This paper proposes a new user grouping algorithm and three-dimensional (3D) angular-based hybrid precoding (AB-HP) scheme for massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems using uniform rectangular arrays (URA). At first, the users clustered in multiple spots are efficiently grouped according to the proposed user grouping algorithm, which only utilizes the user angle-of-departure (AoD) information and does not require prior knowledge of the number of user groups. By employing the AoD support of the user groups, the RF-beamformer of AB-HP is designed to reduce the inter-group interference, the channel state information (CSI) overhead, and the number of RF chains. Then, the digital baseband precoder of AB-HP is constructed via regularized zero-forcing (RZF) using the effective channel seen from baseband to simultaneously serve the users clustered in multiple groups, by considering three approaches: joint-group-processing (JGP), per-group-processing (PGP) and common-group-processing (CGP). For each approach, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) expressions as well as their tight deterministic approximations are derived. To further reduce the number of RF chains, we also propose a new transfer block design, which reduces the number of RF chains down to the number of independent data streams without penalizing the sum-rate performance. Illustrative results reveal that the proposed AB-HP schemes with the relaxed CSI estimation overhead and reduced hardware cost/complexity can closely approach to the sum-rate performance of the single-stage fully-digital precoding (FDP). Furthermore, AB-HP has considerably higher energy efficiency performance compared to FDP due to the reduced number of RF chains. We show through simulation that the proposed AB-HP can offer significantly better performance than existing HP techniques. The computational complexity of AB-HP is also analyzed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
