Traditional Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) detection is widely used in wireless communications, however, it introduces matrix inversion and has a higher computational complexity. For massive Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems, this detection complexity is very high due to its huge channel matrix dimension. Therefore, low-complexity detection technology has become a hot topic in the industry. Aiming at the problem of high computational complexity of the massive MIMO channel estimation, this paper presents a low-complexity algorithm for efficient channel estimation. The proposed algorithm is based on joint Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Iterative Least Square with Projection (SVD-ILSP) which overcomes the drawback of finite sample data assumption of the covariance matrix in the existing SVD-based semi-blind channel estimation scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the deviation, improve the channel estimation accuracy, mitigate the impact of pilot contamination and obtain accurate CSI with low overhead and computational complexity.

In this paper, a low-complexity linear precoding algorithm based on the principal component analysis technique in combination with the conventional linear precoders, called Principal Component Analysis Linear Precoder (PCA-LP), is proposed for massive MIMO systems. The proposed precoder consists of two components: the first one minimizes the interferences among neighboring users and the second one improves the system performance by utilizing the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique. Numerical and simulation results show that the proposed precoder has remarkably lower computational complexity than its low-complexity lattice reduction-aided regularized block diagonalization using zero forcing precoding (LC-RBD-LR-ZF) and lower computational complexity than the PCA-aided Minimum Mean Square Error combination with Block Diagonalization (PCA-MMSE-BD) counterparts while its bit error rate (BER) performance is comparable to those of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF and PCA-MMSE-BD ones.

Pilot contamination is the reuse of pilot signals, which is a bottleneck in massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems as it varies directly with the numerous antennas, which are utilized by massive MIMO. This adversely impacts the channel state information (CSI) due to too large pilot overhead outdated feedback CSI. To solve this problem, a compressed sensing scheme is used. The existing algorithms based on compressed sensing require that the channel sparsity should be known, which in the real channel environment is not the case. To deal with the unknown channel sparsity of the massive MIMO channel, this paper proposes a structured sparse adaptive coding sampling matching pursuit (SSA-CoSaMP) algorithm that utilizes the space–time common sparsity specific to massive MIMO channels and improves the CoSaMP algorithm from the perspective of dynamic sparsity adaptive and structural sparsity aspects. It has a unique feature of threshold-based iteration control, which in turn depends on the SNR level. This approach enables us to determine the sparsity in an indirect manner. The proposed algorithm not only optimizes the channel estimation performance but also reduces the pilot overhead, which saves the spectrum and energy resources. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has improved channel performance compared with the existing algorithm, in both low SNR and low pilot overhead.

To compromise between the system performance and hardware cost, millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have been regarded as an enabling technology for the fifth generation of mobile communication systems (5G). This paper considers a low-complexity angular-domain compressing based detection (ACD) for uplink multi-user mmWave massive MIMO systems, which involves hybrid analog and digital processing. In analog processing, we perform angular-domain compression on the received signal by exploiting the sparsity of the mmWave channel to reduce the dimension of the signal space. In digital processing, the proposed ACD scheme works well with zero forcing (ZF)/maximum ratio combining (MRC)/minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection schemes. The performance analysis of the proposed ACD scheme is provided in terms of achievable rates, energy efficiency and computational complexity. Simulations are carried out and it shows that compared with existing works, the proposed ACD scheme not only reduces the computational complexity by more than 50 % , but also improves the system’s achievable rates and energy efficiency.

In this paper, a novel iterative discrete estimation (IDE) algorithm, which is called the modified IDE (MIDE), is proposed to reduce the computational complexity in MIMO detection in uplink massive MIMO systems. MIDE is a revision of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-based algorithm, in which a self-updating method is designed with the damping factor estimated and updated at each iteration based on the Euclidean distance between the iterative solutions of the IDE-based algorithm in order to accelerate the algorithm’s convergence. Compared to the existing ADMM-based detection algorithm, the overall computational complexity of the proposed MIDE algorithm is reduced from O N t 3 + O N r N t 2 to O N t 2 + O N r N t in terms of the number of complex-valued multiplications, where Ntand Nr are the number of users and the number of receiving antennas at the base station (BS), respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed MIDE algorithm performs better in terms of the bit error rate (BER) than some recently-proposed approximation algorithms in MIMO detection of uplink massive MIMO systems.

Abstract: In MIMO millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems, while the hybrid digital/analog precoding structure provides the ability to increase the reach rate, it also faces the challenge of reducing the channel time limit due to the large number of horns on both sides of the Tx / Rx. . In this paper, channel measurement is done by searching with multiple beams, and a new hierarchical multi-beam search system is proposed, using a pre-designed analog codebook. Performance tests show that, compared to a highperformance system, the proposed system not only achieves a high level of success in getting multiple beams under normal system settings but also significantly reduces channel estimation time Keywords: Massive MIMO, Channel Estimation, precoding
