Successive Over Relaxation

With the limitedness of the sub-6 GHz bandwidth, the world is exploring a thrilling wireless technology known as massive MIMO. This wireless access technology is swiftly becoming key for 5G, B5G, and 6G network deployment. The massive MIMO system brings together antennas at both base stations and the user terminals to provide high spectral service. Despite the fact that massive MIMO offers astronomical benefits such as low latency, high data rate, improved array gain, and far better reliability, it faces several implementation challenges due to the hundreds of antennas at the base station. The signal detection at the base station during the uplink is one of the critical issues in this technology. Detection of user signal becomes computationally complex with a multitude of antennas present in the massive MIMO systems. This paper proposes a novel preconditioned and accelerated Gauss–Siedel algorithm referred to as Symmetric Successive Over-relaxation Preconditioned Gauss-Seidel (SSORGS). The proposed algorithm will address the signal detection challenges associated with massive MIMO technology. Furthermore, we enhance the convergence rate of the proposed algorithm by introducing a novel Symmetric Successive Over-relaxation preconditioner (SSOR) scheme and an initialization scheme based on the instantaneous channel condition between the base station and the user. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm referred to as Symmetric Successive Over-relaxation Preconditioned Gauss-Seidel (SSORGS) provides optimal BER performance. At BER =10−3, over the range of SNR, the SSORGS algorithm performs better than the traditional algorithms. Additionally, the proposed algorithm is computationally more efficient than the traditional algorithms. Furthermore, we designed a comprehensive hardware architecture for the SSORGS algorithm to find the interrelated components necessary to build the actual physical system.

<span>Massive multi-input–multi-output (MIMO) systems are crucial to maximizing energy efficiency (EE) and battery-saving technology. Achieving EE without sacrificing the quality of service (QoS) is increasingly important for mobile devices. We first derive the data rate through zero forcing (ZF) and three linear precodings: maximum ratio transmission (MRT), zero forcing (ZF), and minimum mean square error (MMSE). Performance EE can be achieved when all available antennas are used and when taking account of the consumption circuit power ignored because of high transmit power. The aim of this work is to demonstrate how to obtain maximum EE while minimizing power consumed, which achieves a high data rate by deriving the optimal number of antennas in the downlink massive MIMO system. This system includes not only the transmitted power but also the fundamental operation circuit power at the transmitter signal. Maximized EE depends on the optimal number of antennas and determines the number of active users that should be scheduled in each cell. We conclude that the linear precoding technique MMSE achieves the maximum EE more than ZF and MRT</span><em></em><span>because the MMSE is able to make the massive MIMO system less sensitive to SNR at an increased number of antennas</span><span>.</span>

Massive MIMO techniques are expected to deliver significant performance gains for the future wireless communication networks by improving the spectral and the energy efficiencies. In this paper, we propose a method to optimize the positions, the coverage, and the energy consumption of the massive MIMO base stations within a suburban area in Ghent, Belgium, while meeting the low power requirements. The results reveal that massive MIMO provides better performances for the crowded scenario where users’ mobility is limited. With 256 antennas, a massive MIMO base station can simultaneously multiplex 18 users at the same time-frequency resource while consuming 8 times less power and providing 200 times more capacity than a 4G reference network for the same coverage. Moreover, a pilot reuse pattern of 3 is recommended in a multiuser multicell environment to obtain a good tradeoff between the high spectral efficiency and the low power requirement.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are a core technology designed to achieve the performance objectives defined for 5G wireless communications. They achieve high spectral efficiency, reliability, and diversity gain. However, the many radio frequency chains required in base stations equipped with a high number of transmit antennas imply high hardware costs and computational complexity. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the use of a transmit-antenna selection scheme, with which the number of required radio frequency chains in the base station can be reduced. This paper proposes two efficient transmit-antenna selection (TAS) schemes designed to consider a trade-off between performance and computational complexity in massive MIMO systems. The spectral efficiency and computational complexity of the proposed schemes are analyzed and compared with existing TAS schemes, showing that the proposed algorithms increase the TAS performance and can be used in practical systems. Additionally, the obtained results enable a better understanding of how TAS affects massive MIMO systems.

For multi-user uplink massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion-based linear signal detection algorithm achieves nearly optimal performance, on condition that the number of antennas at the base station is asymptotically large. However, it involves prohibitively high complexity in matrix inversion when the number of users is getting large. A low-complexity soft-output signal detection algorithm based on improved Kaczmarz method is proposed in this paper, which circumvents the matrix inversion operation and thus reduces the complexity by an order of magnitude. Meanwhile, an optimal relaxation parameter is introduced to further accelerate the convergence speed of the proposed algorithm and two approximate methods of calculating the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) for channel decoding are obtained as well. Analysis and simulations verify that the proposed algorithm outperforms various typical low-complexity signal detection algorithms. The proposed algorithm converges rapidly and achieves its performance quite close to that of the MMSE algorithm with only a small number of iterations.

Channel Coupling

A massive MIMO wireless system is a multiuser MISO system where base stations consist of a large number of antennas with respect to number of user devices, each equipped with a single antenna. Massive MIMO is seen as the way forward in enhancing the transmission rate and user capacity in 5G wireless. The potential of massive MIMO system lies in the ability to almost always realize multiuser channels with near zero mutual coupling. Coupling factor reduces by 1/2 for each doubling of transmit antennas. In a high bit rate massive MIMO system with m base station antennas and n users, downlink capacity increases as log2⁡m bps/Hz, and the capacity per user reduces as log2⁡n bps/Hz. This capacity can be achieved by power sharing and using signal weighting vectors aligned to respective 1×m channels of the users. For low bit rate transmission, time sharing achieves the capacity as much as power sharing does. System capacity reduces as channel coupling factor increases. Interference avoidance or minimization strategies can be used to achieve the available capacity in such scenarios. Probability distribution of channel coupling factor is a convenient tool to predict the number of antennas needed to qualify a system as massive MIMO.

Ber Performance

The massive MIMO system is one of the main technologies in the fifth generation (5G) of telecommunication systems, also recognized as a highly large-scale system. Constantly in massive MIMO systems, the base station (BS) is provided with a large number of antennas, and this large number of antennas need high-quantization resolution levels analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In this situation, there will be more power consumption and hardware costs. This paper presents the simulation performance of a suggested method to investigate and analyze the effects of different quantization resolution levels of ADCs on the bit error rate (BER) performance of massive MIMO system under different operating scenarios using MATLAB software. The results show that the SNR exceeds 12 dB accounts for only 0.001% of BER signals when the number of antennas 60 with low quantization a 2 bits’ levels ADCs, approximately. But when the antenna number rises to 300, the SNR exceeds 12 dB accounts for almost 0.01% of BER transmitted signals. Comparably with the BER performance of high quantization, 4 bits-quantization resolution levels ADCs with the same different antennas have a slight degradation. Therefore, the number of antennas is a very important influence factor.

Massive MIMO have drawn considerable attention as they enable significant capacity and coverage improvement in wireless cellular network. However, pilot contamination is a great challenge in massive MIMO systems. Under this circumstance, cooperation and three-dimensional (3D) MIMO are emerging technologies to eliminate the pilot contamination and to enhance the performance relative to the traditional interference-limited implementations. Motivated by this, we investigate the achievable sum rate performance of MIMO systems in the uplink employing cooperative base station (BS) and 3D MIMO systems. In our model, we consider the effects of both large-scale and small-scale fading, as well as the spatial correlation and indoor-to-outdoor high-rise propagation environment. In particular, we investigate the cooperative communication model based on 3D MIMO and propose a closed-form lower bound on the sum rate. Utilizing this bound, we pursue a “large-system” analysis and provide the asymptotic expression when the number of antennas at the BS grows large, and when the numbers of antennas at transceiver grow large with a fixed ratio. We demonstrate that the lower bound is very tight and becomes exact in the massive MIMO system limits. Finally, under the sum rate maximization condition, we derive the optimal number of UTs to be served.

Abstract In this paper, we consider a single group massive MIMO system, which consists of one receiver (base station) deployed with a large number of antennas and multiple users with each having single antenna. In the uplink transmissions from users to base station, we focus on an efficient signal reconstruction of all the users' transmitted symbols. We build a statistic decision matrix based on the received signals, whose eigenvectors and eigenvalues constitute the key components of our signal reconstruction algorithm. Then, an optimization problem is formulated and we convert this problem to two sub-problems: obtaining the optimal weights by solving Semidefinite Relaxation (SDR) optimization and obtaining the optimal rotation phases. Finally, an iterative algorithm framework is proposed for multi-user signal reconstruction. Numerical results are also carried out to verify the bit-error-ratio (BER) performance compared with the several coherent detection schemes and the noncoherent transmission schemes.
