Despite the advantages of the studies, the conventional transmitter systems should provide at least the same number of transmitting beams and RF chains as the number of multipath streams. To relieve the system from this constrain, inventor proposes a novel multiplexing method, called Dynamic Sidelobes Multiplexing (DSM), that allows additional data streams to be multiplexed and reconstructed. The main contribution of the proposed DSM method is to introduce additional receiver beams to open new paths to receive the additional streams that is transmitted under the main signal. Beamspace MIMO provides cost-effective and simple hardware designs for millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. However, the number of users/streams that can be supported at the same time-frequency resource is limited to the number of radiofrequency (RF) chains. In this study, to overcome this restriction, dynamic sidelobe multiplexing (DSM) algorithm is proposed. The proposed multiplexing technique precodes the transmitted data over transmitter beams in order to open up a new path to the receiver. Therefore, the proposed method provides an opportunity to exceed the limits of conventional hardware usage in beamspace MIMO. The numerical results show that the proposed approach enhance the system performance for more than 50% compared to conventional.
