| contents | This article investigates the beam training design problems for pinching-antenna systems (PASS), where single-waveguide-single-user (SWSU), single-waveguide-multi-user (SWMU) and multi-waveguide-multi-user (MWMU) scenarios are considered. For SWSU-PASS, we design a scalable codebook, based on which we propose a three-stage beam training (3SBT) scheme. Specifically, 1) firstly, the 3SBT scheme utilizes one activated pinching antenna to obtain a coarse one-dimensional location at the first stage; 2) secondly, it achieves further phase matching with an increased number of activated antennas at the second stage; 3) finally, it realizes precise beam alignment through an exhaustive search at the third stage. For SWMU-PASS, based on the scalable codebook design, we propose an improved 3SBT scheme to support non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission. For MWMU-PASS, we first present a generalized expression of the received signal based on the partially-connected hybrid beamforming structure. Furthermore, we introduce an increased-dimensional scalable codebook design, based on which an increased-dimensional 3SBT scheme is proposed. Numerical results reveal that: i) the proposed beam training scheme can significantly reduce the training overhead compared to the two-dimensional exhaustive search, while maintaining reasonable rate performance; ii) compared to fixed-location pinching antennas and conventional array antennas, the proposed dynamic pinching antennas yield better flexibility and improved performance. |
