Beam hopping technology is considered to provide a high level of flexible resource allocation to manage uneven traffic requests in multi-beam high throughput satellite systems. Conventional beam hopping resource allocation methods assume constant rainfall attenuation. Different from conventional methods, by employing genetic algorithm this paper studies dynamic beam hopping time slots allocation under the effect of time-varying rain attenuation. Firstly, a beam hopping system model as well as rain attenuation time series based on Dirac lognormal distribution are provided. On this basis, the dynamic allocation method by employing genetic algorithm is proposed to obtain both quantity and arrangement of time slots allocated for each beam. Simulation results show that, compared with conventional methods, the proposed algorithm can dynamically adjust time slots allocation to meet the non-uniform traffic requirements of each beam under the effect of time-varying rain attenuation and effectively improve system performance.

The large bandwidth and multipath in millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular system assure the existence of frequency selective channels; it is necessary that mmWave system remains with frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and user scheduling. But for the hybrid beamforming system, the analog beamforming is implemented by the same phase shifts in the entire frequency band, and the wideband phase shifts may not be harmonious with all users scheduled in frequency resources. This paper proposes a joint user scheduling and multiuser hybrid beamforming algorithm for downlink massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. In the first step of user scheduling, the users with identical optimal beams form an OFDMA user group and multiplex the entire frequency resource. Then base station (BS) allocates the frequency resources for each member of OFDMA user group. An OFDMA user group can be regarded as a virtual user; thus it can support arbitrary MU-MIMO user selection and beamforming algorithms. Further, the analog beamforming vectors employ the best beam of each selected MU-MIMO user and the digital beamforming algorithm is solved by weight MMSE to acquire the best performance gain and mitigate the interuser inference. Simulation results show that hybrid beamforming together with user scheduling can greatly improve the performance of mmWave OFDMA massive MU-MIMO system.
