Analog antenna array based sensing in perceptive mobile networks

In this paper, we consider an alternative low-cost and flexible solution of using an analog antenna array for radio sensing at the base station receiver in the recently proposed perceptive mobile networks. We provide receiver beamforming design, and advanced compressive sensing (CS) signal processing techniques for sensing parameter estimation in a multiuser-MIMO (MU-MIMO) communications system. Simulation results are provided and validate the effectiveness of the proposed solution and sensing algorithms.
