Turbo Message Passing Based Burst Interference Cancellation for Data Detection in Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems

This paper investigates the fundamental data detection problem with burst interference in massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) systems. In particular, burst interference may occur only on data symbols but not on pilot symbols, which means that interference information cannot be premeasured. To cancel the burst interference, we first revisit the uplink multi-user system and develop a matrixform system model, where the covariance pattern and the low-rank property of the interference matrix is discussed. Then, we propose a turbo message passing based burst interference cancellation(TMP-BIC) algorithm to solve the data detection problem, where the constellation information of target data is fully exploited to refine its estimate. Furthermore, in the TMP-BIC algorithm, we design one module to cope with the interference matrix by exploiting its lowrank property. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of burst interference and approach the interference-free bound.

Low-complexity signal detection for massive MIMO systems via trace iterative method

Linear minimum mean square error(MMSE)detection has been shown to achieve near-optimal performance for massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)systems but inevitably involves complicated matrix inversion,which entails high complexity.To avoid the exact matrix inversion,a considerable number of implicit and explicit approximate matrix inversion based detection methods is proposed.By combining the advantages of both the explicit and the implicit matrix inversion,this paper introduces a new low-complexity signal detection algorithm.Firstly,the relationship between implicit and explicit techniques is analyzed.Then,an enhanced Newton iteration method is introduced to realize an approximate MMSE detection for massive MIMO uplink systems.The proposed improved Newton iteration significantly reduces the complexity of conventional Newton iteration.However,its complexity is still high for higher iterations.Thus,it is applied only for first two iterations.For subsequent iterations,we propose a novel trace iterative method(TIM)based low-complexity algorithm,which has significantly lower complexity than higher Newton iterations.Convergence guarantees of the proposed detector are also provided.Numerical simulations verify that the proposed detector exhibits significant performance enhancement over recently reported iterative detectors and achieves close-to-MMSE performance while retaining the low-complexity advantage for systems with hundreds of antennas.

Performance Analysis of Uplink Distributed Massive MIMO System with Cross-Layer Design over Rayleigh Fading Channel

The performance of uplink distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)systems with crosslayer design(CLD) is investigated over Rayleigh fading channel, which combines the discrete rate adaptive modulation with truncated automatic repeat request. By means of the performance analysis, the closed-form expressions of average packet error rate(APER)and overall average spectral efficiency(ASE)of distributed massive MIMO systems with CLD are derived based on the conditional probability density function of each user’s approximate effective signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and the switching thresholds under the target packet loss rate(PLR)constraint.With these results,using the approximation of complementary error functions,the approximate APER and overall ASE are also deduced. Simulation results illustrate that the obtained theoretical ASE and APER can match the corresponding simulations well. Besides,the target PLR requirement is satisfied,and the distributed massive MIMO systems offer an obvious performance gain over the co-located massive MIMO systems.

A Low-Complexity Signal Detection Utilizing AOR Iterative Method for Massive MIMO Systems

Massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system is capable of substantially improving the spectral efficiency as well as the capacity of wireless networks relying on equipping a large number of antenna elements at the base stations. However, the excessively high computational complexity of the signal detection in massive MIMO systems imposes a significant challenge for practical hardware implementations. In this paper, we propose a novel minimum mean square error(MMSE) signal detection using the accelerated overrelaxation(AOR) iterative method without complicated matrix inversion, which is capable of reducing the overall complexity of the classical MMSE algorithm by an order of magnitude. Simulation results show that the proposed AOR-based method can approach the conventional MMSE signal detection with significant complexity reduction.

This paper presents a co-time co-frequency fullduplex(CCFD)massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)system to meet high spectrum efficiency requirements for beyond the fifth-generation(5G)and the forthcoming the sixth-generation(6G)networks.To achieve equilibrium of energy consumption,system resource utilization,and overall transmission capacity,an energy-efficient resource management strategy concerning power allocation and antenna selection is designed.A continuous quantum-inspired termite colony optimization(CQTCO)algorithm is proposed as a solution to the resource management considering the communication reliability while promoting energy conservation for the CCFD massive MIMO system.The effectiveness of CQTCO compared with other algorithms is evaluated through simulations.The results reveal that the proposed resource management scheme under CQTCO can obtain a superior performance in different communication scenarios,which can be considered as an eco-friendly solution for promoting reliable and efficient communication in future wireless networks.

Hybrid orthogonal and non-orthogonal pilot distribution based channel estimation in massive MIMO system

How to obtain accurate channel state information(CSI)at the transmitter with less pilot overhead for frequency division duplexing(FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)system is a challenging issue due to the large number of antennas. To reduce the overwhelming pilot overhead, a hybrid orthogonal and non-orthogonal pilot distribution at the base station(BS),which is a generalization of the existing pilot distribution scheme,is proposed by exploiting the common sparsity of channel due to the compact antenna arrangement. Then the block sparsity for antennas with hybrid pilot distribution is derived respectively and can be used to obtain channel impulse response. By employing the theoretical analysis of block sparse recovery, the total coherence criterion is proposed to optimize the sensing matrix composed by orthogonal pilots. Due to the huge complexity of optimal pilot acquisition, a genetic algorithm based pilot allocation(GAPA) algorithm is proposed to acquire optimal pilot distribution locations with fast convergence. Furthermore, the Cramer Rao lower bound is derived for non-orthogonal pilot-based channel estimation and can be asymptotically approached by the prior support set, especially when the optimized pilot is employed.

Robust Fingerprint Localization Based on Massive MIMO Systems

Location-based services have become an important part of the daily life.Fingerprint localization has been put forward to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional positioning algorithms in indoor scenario and rich scattering environment.In this paper,a single-site multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)system is modeled,from which an angle delay channel power matrix(ADCPM)is extracted.Considering the changing environment,auto encoders are used to generate new fingerprints based on ADCPM fingerprints to improve the robustness of the fingerprints.When the scattering environment has changed beyond a certain extent,the robustness will not be able to make up for the positioning error.Under this circumstance,an updating of the fingerprint database is imperative.A new fingerprint database updating algorithm which combines a new clustering method and an updating rule based on probability is proposed.Simulation results show the desirable performance of the proposed methods.

MUSIC-Based Pilot Decontamination and Channel Estimation in Multiuser Massive MIMO System

This paper addresses the problem of channel estimation in a multiuser multi-cell wireless communications system in which the base station(BS)is equipped with a very large number of antennas(also referred to as"massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)").We consider a time-division duplexing(TDD)scheme,in which reciprocity between the uplink and downlink channels can be assumed.Channel estimation is essential for downlink beamforming in massive MIMO,nevertheless,the pilot contamination effect hinders accurate channel estimation,which leads to overall performance degradation.Benefitted from the asymptotic orthogonality between signal and interference subspaces for non-overlapping angle-of arrivals(AOAs)in the large-scale antenna system,we propose a multiple signals classification(MUSIC)based channel estimation algorithm during the uplink transmission.Analytical and numerical results verify complete pilot decontamination and the effectiveness of the proposed channel estimation algorithm in the multiuser multi-cell massive MIMO system.

Optimal Multipoint-to-Multipoint Transceiver Design with Massive MIMO Relay Station in OFDM Systems

Based on massive MIMO （ multiple-input multiple-output） （M2M） systems, in order to avoid pilot contamination and improve the performance of rapacity, a pilot training transmission scheme was designed for pilot decontamination by utilizing orthogonal mbearriers of OFDM （ orthogonal frequency division multiplexing） during pilot transmission phase and a joint optimized transceiver design for multi-antenna user pairs was proposed during the data transmission phase. The massive M2M system included a single relay station, multiple paired source nodes and destination nodes. Source nodes precoding matrices and relay station precoding matrix were jointly optimized by maximizing the weighted sum-rate in OFDM systems. After some mathematical manipulation to sum-rate, the cost function of sum.rate was expressed as quadratic optimizing expressions which could be solved by regular convex optlmiTation softwares. Different from existing algorithms, the proposed precoding design was based on massive MIMO OFDM systems with multi-antenna users pairs together pilot decontamination transmission arrangement. Simulations indicate the effectiveness of the proposed optimal precoding system. The proposed scheme not only can reduce pilot contamination, but also can improve performance of bit-error-rate （BER） as wed as sum- rate contrast to existing algorithms. In addition, it shows that the proposed M2M massive MIMO system works steadily when the number of users increases in large scale.

The mobile data traffic has been exponentially growing during the last several decades.This was enabled by the densification of the network infrastructure in terms of increased cell density(i.e.,Ultra-Dense Network(UDN))and/or the increased number of active antennas per Access Point(AP)(i.e.,massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(mMIMO)).However,neither UDN nor mMIMO will meet the increasing demand for the data rate of the Sixth Generation(6G)wireless communications due to the inter-cell interference and large quality-of-service variations.Cell-Free(CF)mMIMO,which combines the best aspects of UDN and mMIMO,is viewed as a key solution to this issue.In such systems,each User Equipment(UE)is served by a preferred set of surrounding APs cooperatively.In this paper,we provide a survey of the state-of-the-art literature on CF mMIMO.As a starting point,the significance and the basic properties of CF mMIMO are highlighted.We then present the canonical framework to discuss the essential details(i.e.,transmission procedure and mathematical system model).Next,we provide a deep look at the resource allocation and signal processing problems related to CF mMIMO and survey the up-to-date schemes and algorithms.After that,we discuss the practical issues in implementing CF mMIMO and point out the potential future directions.Finally,we conclude this paper with a summary of the key lessons learned in this field.

Direction-of-arrival estimation for co-located multiple-input multiple-output radar using structural sparsity Bayesian learning

This paper addresses the direction of arrival （DOA） estimation problem for the co-located multiple-input multiple- output （MIMO） radar with random arrays. The spatially distributed sparsity of the targets in the background makes com- pressive sensing （CS） desirable for DOA estimation. A spatial CS framework is presented, which links the DOA estimation problem to support recovery from a known over-complete dictionary. A modified statistical model is developed to ac- curately represent the intra-block correlation of the received signal. A structural sparsity Bayesian learning algorithm is proposed for the sparse recovery problem. The proposed algorithm, which exploits intra-signal correlation, is capable being applied to limited data support and low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） scene. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has less computation load compared to the classical Bayesian algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a more accurate DOA estimation than the traditional multiple signal classification （MUSIC） algorithm and other CS recovery algorithms.

Selective transmission and channel estimation in massive MIMO systems

Massive MIMO systems have got extraordinary spectral efficiency using a large number of base station antennas,but it is in the challenge of pilot contamination using the aligned pilots.To address this issue,a selective transmission is proposed using time-shifted pilots with cell grouping,where the strong interfering users in downlink transmission cells are temporally stopped during the pilots transmission in uplink cells.Based on the spatial characteristics of physical channel models,the strong interfering users are selected to minimize the inter-cell interference and the cell grouping is designed to have less temporally stopped users within a smaller area.Furthermore,a Kalman estimator is proposed to reduce the unexpected effect of residual interferences in channel estimation,which exploits both the spatial-time correlation of channels and the share of the interference information.The numerical results show that our scheme significantly improves the channel estimation accuracy and the data rates.

In this paper, a new observation equation of non-Gaussian frequency selective fading Bell Labs layered space time （BLAST） architecture system is proposed, which is used for frequency selective fading channels and non-Gaussian noise in an application environment of BLAST system. With othogonal matrix triangularization （QR decomposition） of the channel matrix, the static observation equation of frequency selective fading BLAST system is transformed into a dynamic state space model, and then the particle filter is used for space-time layered detection. Making the full use of the finite alphabet of the digital modulation communication signal, the optimal proposal distribution can be chosen to produce particle and update the weight. Incorporated with current method of reducing error propagation, a new space-time layered detection algorithm is proposed. Simulation result shows the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Shannon information capacity of time reversal wideband multiple-input multiple-output system based on correlated statistical channels

Utilizing channel reciprocity, time reversal（TR） technique increases the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） at the receiver with very low transmitter complexity in complex multipath environment. Present research works about TR multiple-input multiple-output（MIMO） communication all focus on the system implementation and network building. The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of antenna coupling on the capacity of wideband TR MIMO system, which is a realistic question in designing a practical communication system. It turns out that antenna coupling stabilizes the capacity in a small variation range with statistical wideband channel response. Meanwhile, antenna coupling only causes a slight detriment to the channel capacity in a wideband TR MIMO system. Comparatively, uncorrelated stochastic channels without coupling exhibit a wider range of random capacity distribution which greatly depends on the statistical channel. The conclusions drawn from information difference entropy theory provide a guideline for designing better high-performance wideband TR MIMO communication systems.
