Despite its potential for high performance, implementing a massive MIMO system presents numerous technical challenges, including the high hardware complexity, cost, and power consumption that result from the large number of antennas and the associated front-end circuits. One solution to these challenges is the use of hybrid beamforming, which divides the transceiving process into both analog and digital domains. To perform hybrid beamforming efficiently, it is necessary to optimize the analog beamformer, referred to as the compressive measurement matrix (CMM) here, that allows the projection of high-dimensional signals into a low-dimensional manifold. Classical approaches to optimizing the CMM, however, are computationally intensive and time consuming, limiting their usefulness for real-time processing. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based approach to optimizing the CMM using long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. This approach offers high accuracy with low complexity, making it a promising solution for the real-time implementation of massive MIMO systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a16060261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,23]],"date-time":"2023-05-23T08:14:28Z","timestamp":1684829668000},"page":"261","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Optimization of the Compressive Measurement Matrix in a Massive MIMO System Exploiting LSTM Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Saidur R.","family":"Pavel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4625-209X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yimin D.","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"De Lamare, R.C.
