Massive Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) is an emerging technology for the 5G wireless communication systems which has the potential to provide high spectral efficient and improved link reliability and accommodate large number of users. Aiming at the problem of pilot contamination in massive MIMO systems, this paper proposes two algorithms to mitigate it. The first algorithm is depending on the idea of Path Loss to perform User Grouping (PLUG) which divide the users into the center and edge user groups depending on different levels of pilot contamination. It assigns the same pilot sequences to the center users which slightly suffer from pilot contamination and assign orthogonal pilot sequences to the edge users which severely suffer from pilot contamination. It is assumed that the number of users at the edge of each cell is the same. Therefore, to overcome such limitations of PLUG algorithm, we propose an improved PLUG (IPLUG) algorithm which provides the decision parameters for user grouping and selects the number of central and edge users in each cell in a dynamic manner. Thus, the algorithm prevents the wrong division of users in good channel conditions being considered as an edge user which causes large pilot overhead, and also identifies the users with worst channel conditions and prevents the wrong division of such users from the center user group. The second algorithm for pilot decontamination utilizes the idea of pseudo-random codes in which orthogonal pilot are assigned to different cells. Such codes are deployed to get a transmission pilot by scrambling the user pilot in the cell. Since the pilot contamination is generated because different cells multiplex the same set of orthogonal pilots and the pseudo-random sequences have good cross-correlation characteristics, this paper uses this feature to improve the orthogonality of pilots between different cells. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms can effectively improve channel estimation performance and achievable rate as compared with other schemes.

The Impact

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive MIMO) is a promising approach in wireless communication systems for providing improved link reliability and spectral efficiency and it helps several users. The main aim is to solve pilot contamination issue in massive MIMO systems; this research paper utilizes two approaches for reducing the contamination. This paper presents the user grouping approach based on sparse fuzzy C-means clustering (sparse FCM), which groups user parameters based on parameters such as large-scale fading factor, SINR, and user distance. Here, same pilot sequences are assigned to center users in which the impact of pilot contamination is limited, while the algorithm assigns orthogonal pilot sequences to the edge users that suffer severely from pilot contamination. Therefore, the proposed user grouping keeps away from the inappropriate grouping of users, enabling effective grouping even under the worst situations of the channel. Secondly, pilot scheduling is done based on elephant spider monkey optimization (ESMO), which is designed by integrating elephant herding optimization (EHO) into spider monkey optimization (SMO). The performance of pilot scheduling based on grouping-based ESMO is evaluated based on achievable rate and SINR. The proposed method achieves maximal achievable rate of 41.29[Formula: see text]bps/Hz and maximal SINR of 124.31[Formula: see text]dB.

Massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) is one of the key technologies in the fifth generation (5G) cellular communication systems. For uplink massive MIMO systems, the typical linear detection such as minimum mean square error (MMSE) presents a near-optimal performance. Due to the required direct matrix inverse, however, the MMSE detection algorithm becomes computationally very expensive, especially when the number of users is large. For achieving the high detection accuracy as well as reducing the computational complexity in massive MIMO systems, we propose an improved Jacobi iterative algorithm by accelerating the convergence rate in the signal detection process.Specifically, the steepest descent (SD) method is utilized to achieve an efficient searching direction. Then, the whole-correction method is applied to update the iterative process. As the result, the fast convergence and the low computationally complexity of the proposed Jacobi-based algorithm are obtained and proved. Simulation results also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs better than the conventional algorithms in terms of the bit error rate (BER) and achieves a near-optimal detection accuracy as the typical MMSE detector, but utilizing a small number of iterations.

The demand for higher data rates can be satisfied by the spectral efficiency (SE) improvement offered by Massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) systems. However, the pilot contamination remains as a fundamental issue to obtain the paramount SE in such systems. This propitiated the research of several methods to mitigate pilot contamination. One of these procedures is based on the coordination of the cells, culminating in proposals with multiple pilot training phases. This paper aims to expand the results of the original paper, whereby the concepts of large pilot training phases were offered. The evaluation of such method was conducted through more comprehensible numerical results, in which a large number of antennas were assumed and more rigorous SE expressions were used. The channel estimation approaches relying on multiple pilot training phases were considered cumbersome for implementation and an uninteresting solution to overcome pilot contamination; contradicting the results presented in the genuine paper.

Key Techniques

Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) is one of the key techniques in 5th generation wireless systems (5G) due to its potential ability to improve spectral efficiency. Most of the existing works on massive MIMO only consider Time Division Duplex (TDD) operation that relies on channel reciprocity between uplink and downlink channels. For Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems, with continued efforts, some downlink multiuser MIMO scheme was recently proposed in order to enable “massive MIMO” gains and simplified system operations with limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains in FDD system. However these schemes, such as Joint Spatial Division and Multiplexing (JSDM) scheme and hybrid precoding scheme, only focus on multiuser transmission in spatial domain. Different from most of the existing works, this paper proposes Joint Spatial and Power Multiplexing (JSPM) scheme in FDD systems. It extends existing FDD schemes from spatial division and multiplexing to joint spatial and power domain to achieve more multiplexing gain. The user grouping and scheduling scheme of JSPM is studied and the asymptotic expression for the sum capacity is derived as well. Finally, simulations are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is an emerging technology used in next-generation cellular networks. The major challenge in the massive MIMO system is the pilot contamination. The contamination of the pilot sequences causes inaccurate channel estimation leading to huge errors in the transmissions. This paper proposes an approach for pilot contamination reduction in massive MIMO systems. In order to reduce the pilot contamination, a pilot scheduling algorithm is devised by proposing an optimization algorithm named Elephant-based Spider Monkey Optimization (ESMO) for scheduling the pilots. The proposed ESMO is designed by combining Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) into Spider Monkey Optimization (SMO). The pilot scheduling approach employs proposed ESMO and user degradation for scheduling the pilots. Moreover, the optimal pilot scheduling is carried out using the newly devised fitness function that considers achievable rate using various user grouping parameters, such as utility function, and grouping parameter. Thus, the proposed ESMO-based pilot scheduling and fitness function are responsible for initiating optimal pilot scheduling. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the existing methods, and the proposed ESMO outperformed the existing methods with maximal achievable rate value of 39.257[Formula: see text]bps/Hz, and maximal SINR with value 118.75[Formula: see text]dB, respectively.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission has attracted attention as a key technology for use in fifth-generation mobile communication systems. Multi-beam massive MIMO systems that apply beam selection in analog components and blind algorithms in digital components to eliminate the requirement for channel state information have been proposed as a method for reducing overhead. In this study, we developed an adaptive modulation scheme for implementing multi-beam massive MIMO and used computer simulation to compare it with digital and analog–digital hybrid beam-forming methods. The effectiveness of the proposed system was verified in a medium access control layer based on the IEEE802.11ac and frequency division duplex-LTE representative wireless communication standards.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters is a rational solution to deal with hardware costs and accomplish optimal energy efficiency. In particular, utilizing 1-bit ADCs is one of the best choices for massive MIMO systems. This paper investigates the performance of the 1-bit ADC in the wireless coded communication systems where the robust channel coding, protograph low-density parity-check code (LDPC), is employed. The investigation reveals that the performance of the conventional 1-bit ADC with the truncation limit of 3-sigma is severely destroyed by the quantization distortion even when the number of antennas increases to 100. The optimized 1-bit ADC, though having substantial performance gain over the conventional one, is also affected by the quantization distortion at high coding rates and low MIMO configurations. Importantly, the investigation results suggest that the protograph LDPC codes should be re-designed to combat the negative effect of the quantization distortion of the 1-bit ADC.
