Popis: Abstract In this paper, we propose a new interference-suppression beamformer design and a Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation method for Line-of-Sight (LoS) multi-user communication systems with circular Large Intelligent Surfaces (LISs). This symmetrical circular-shaped LIS allows signals defined on it to be formed by combining Fourier and Bessel series. The Fourier harmonics are orthogonal along the rotational direction and the Bessel functions constituting the Bessel series are orthogonal along the radial direction. Synthesizing basis functions from these two series results in the proposed interference-suppression beamformer, with their coefficients designed to cancel inter-user interference. Also by exploiting signal structure of a circular LIS communicating with Mobile Stations (MSs), we devise a DoA estimation method to obtain directional information of incoming signals. Under LoS channel, the DoA corresponds to elevation and Azimuth angles of MSs relative to the LIS. This method is numerically demonstrated to have promising performance with high-frequency carriers.
