Abstract
This paper proposes a deep learning approach to the adaptive and sequential beamforming design problem for the initial access phase in a mmWave environment with a single-path channel model. In particular, for a single-user scenario where the problem is equivalent to designing the sequence of sensing beamformers to learn the angle of arrival (AoA) of the dominant path, we propose a novel deep neural network (DNN) that designs a sequence of adaptive sensing vectors based on the available information so far at the base station (BS). By recognizing that the posterior distribution of the AoA provides sufficient statistic for solving the initial access problem, we consider the AoA posterior distribution as the main component of the input to the proposed DNN for designing the adaptive beamforming strategy. However, computing the AoA posterior distribution can be computationally challenging when the fading coefficient is unknown. To address this issue, this paper proposes to use the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimate of the fading coefficient to compute an approximation of the posterior distribution. Numerical results demonstrate that as compared to the existing adaptive beamforming schemes utilizing predesigned hierarchical codebooks, the proposed deep learning-based adaptive beamforming achieves a higher AoA detection performance.

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
