This article investigates channel estimation problem in massive MIMO partially centralized cloud-RAN (MPC-RAN). The channel estimation was realized through compressed data method to minimize the huge pilot overhead, then combined with parallel Givens data projection method (PGDPM) to form a semi-blind estimator. Comparison and analysis of improved minimum mean square error (MMSE), fast data projection method (FDPM), compressed data, and PGDPM techniques was evaluated for achievable normalized mean square error (NMSE) in MPC-RAN. The PGDPM-based estimator had the lowest normalized mean square error. The FDPM and PGDPM based methods are comparable in performance with PGDPM based estimator having a slight edge over FDPM-based estimator. This vindicates PGDPM-based estimator as a method to be utilized in channel estimation since it compresses the massive MIMO channel information, hence mitigating the fronthaul finite capacity problem, and at the same time, it is geared towards efficient parallelization for optimal BBU resource utilization.

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.

We introduced an improved singular value decomposition (SVD) channel estimation algorithm for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The algorithm is supposed to solve the issue that the channel estimation result is not accurate when the training sequences have some 0 elements. The improvement is also applicable in the other channel estimation algorithms. We made some comparisons between the linear least squares (LS) and the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimation, the traditional singular value decomposition and the improved SVD algorithm to demonstrate the efficiency. Results show that the proposed improved SVD algorithm has better performance in mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) of channel estimation and the estimated values approach the actual channel state.
