Detection in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems is a crucial procedure in receivers since the multiple access transmission schemes generate interference due to the simultaneous transmission along with the several antennas, unlike single-input-single-output (SISO) transmission schemes. Precoding is a technique in MIMO systems used to mitigate the effects of the channel over the received signal. Hence, it is possible to adjust continuously the transmitted information to reverse the effect of the wireless channel at the receiver side. In this work, linear sub-optimal detectors and precoders for massive MIMO (M-MIMO) systems are implemented, analyzed, and compared in terms of performance-complexity trade-off. It is also being considered numerical results in both channel scenarios: a) receiver and transmitter have perfect channel state information (CSI); b) complex channel coefficients are estimated with different levels of inaccuracy. Monte-Carlo simulations (MCS) reveal that linear zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) massive MIMO detectors result in a certain robustness against multi-user interference when operating under low and medium system loading, L = K/M, thanks to the favourable propagation phenomenon arising in massive MIMO systems.

As we are entering the 5G era, high demand is made of wireless communication. Consistent effort has been ongoing in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which provide correlation on temporal and spatial domain, to meet the high throughput demand. To handle the characteristic nature of wireless channel effectively and improve the system performance, this paper considers the combination of diversity and equalization. Space-Time trellis code is combined with single-carrier modulation using two-choice equalization techniques, namely: minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizer and orthogonal triangular (QR) detection. MMSE gives an optimal balance between noise enhancement and net inter-symbol interference (ISI) in the transmitted signal. Use of these equalizers provides the platform of investigating the bit error rate (BER) and the pairwise error probability (PEP) at the receiver, as well as the effect of cyclic prefix reduction on the receivers. It was found that the MMSE receiver outperforms the QR receiver in terms of BER, while in terms of PEP; the QR receiver outperforms the MMSE receiver. When a cyclic prefix reduction test was carried out on both receivers, it yields a significant reduction in BER of both receivers but has no significant effect on the overall performance.

Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is one of the most essential algorithms to identify the modulation types for the non-cooperative communication systems. Recently, it has been demonstrated that deep learning (DL)-based AMC method effectively works in the single-input single-output (SISO) systems, but DL-based AMC method is scarcely explored in the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In this correspondence, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based cooperative AMC (Co-AMC) method for the MIMO systems, where the receiver equipped with multiple antennas cooperatively recognizes the modulation types. Specifically, each received antenna gives their recognition sub-results via the CNN, respectively. Then, the decision maker identifies the modulation types with the recognition sub-results and cooperative decision rules, such as direct voting (DV), weighty voting (WV), direct averaging (DA) and weighty averaging (WA). The simulation results demonstrate that the Co-AMC method, based on the CNN and WA, has the highest correct classification probability in the four cooperative decision rules. In addition, the CNN-based Co-AMC method also performs better than the high order cumulants (HOC)-based traditional AMC methods, which shows the effective feature extraction and powerful classification capabilities of the CNN.

Hybrid precoding is widely used in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, most prior work on hybrid precoding focused on the fully connected hybrid architectures and the subconnected but fixed architectures in which each radio frequency (RF) chain is connected to a specific subset of the antennas. The limited work shows that dynamic subarray architectures address the tradeoff between achievable spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of mmWave massive MIMO systems. Nevertheless, in the multiuser hybrid precoding systems, the existing dynamic subarray schemes ignore the fairness of users and the problem of user selection. In this paper, we propose a novel multiuser hybrid precoding scheme for dynamic subarray architectures. Firstly, we select a multiuser set among all users according to the analog effective channel information of the base station (BS) and then design the subset of the antennas to each RF by the fairness antenna-partitioning algorithm. Finally, the optimal analog precoding vector is designed according to each subarray, and the digital precoding is designed by the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) criterion. The simulation results show that the performance advantages of the proposed multiuser hybrid precoding scheme for dynamic subarray architectures.

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the uplink transmission for user-centric cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The largest-large-scale-fading-based access point (AP) selection method is adopted to achieve a user-centric operation. Under this user-centric framework, we propose a novel inter-cluster interference-based (IC-IB) pilot assignment scheme to alleviate pilot contamination. Considering the local characteristics of channel estimates and statistics, we propose a location-aided distributed uplink combining scheme based on a novel proposed metric representing inter-user interference to balance the relationship among the spectral efficiency (SE), user equipment (UE) fairness and complexity, in which the normalized local partial minimum mean-squared error (LP-MMSE) combining is adopted for some APs, while the normalized maximum ratio (MR) combining is adopted for the remaining APs. A new closed-form SE expression using the normalized MR combining is derived and a novel metric to indicate the UE fairness is also proposed. Moreover, the max-min fairness (MMF) power control algorithm is utilized to further ensure uniformly good service to the UEs. Simulation results demonstrate that the channel estimation accuracy of our proposed IC-IB pilot assignment scheme outperforms that of the conventional pilot assignment schemes. Furthermore, although the proposed location-aided uplink combining scheme is not always the best in terms of the per-UE SE, it can provide the more fairness among UEs and can achieve a good trade-off between the average SE and computational complexity.

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.

Abstract We introduce a joint weighted Neumann series (WNS) and Gauss-Seidel (GS) approach to implement an approximated linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) detector for uplink massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) systems. We first propose to initialize the GS iteration by a WNS method, which produces a closer-to-LMMSE initial solution than the conventional zero vector and diagonal-matrix based scheme. Then the GS algorithm is applied to implement an approximated LMMSE detection iteratively. Furthermore, based on the WNS, we devise a low-complexity approximate log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) computation method whose performance loss is negligible compared with the exact method. Numerical results illustrate that the proposed joint WNS-GS approach outperforms the conventional method and achieves near-LMMSE performance with significantly lower computational complexity.

Aiming at the problem of high computational complexity due to a large number of antennas deployed in mmWave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, this paper proposes an efficient algorithm for optimizing beam control vectors with low computational complexity based on codebooks for millimeter-wave massive MIMO systems with split sub-arrays hybrid beamforming architecture. A bidirectional method is adopted on the beam control vector of each antenna sub-array both at the transmitter and receiver, which utilizes the idea of interference alignment (IA) and alternating optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has low computational complexity, fast convergence, and improved spectral efficiency as compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms.

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.
