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.

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.

Finite sensor selection algorithm in distributed MIMO radar for joint target tracking and detection

Due to the requirement of anti-interception and the limitation of processing capability of the fusion center, the subarray selection is very important for the distributed multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) radar system, especially in the hostile environment. In such conditions, an efficient subarray selection strategy is proposed for MIMO radar performing tasks of target tracking and detection. The goal of the proposed strategy is to minimize the worst-case predicted posterior Cramer-Rao lower bound(PCRLB) while maximizing the detection probability for a certain region. It is shown that the subarray selection problem is NP-hard, and a modified particle swarm optimization(MPSO) algorithm is developed as the solution strategy. A large number of simulations verify that the MPSO can provide close performance to the exhaustive search(ES) algorithm. Furthermore, the MPSO has the advantages of simpler structure and lower computational complexity than the multi-start local search algorithm.

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.

Joint resource allocation scheme for target tracking in distributed MIMO radar systems

A joint resource allocation scheme concerned with the sensor subset,power and bandwidth for range-only target tracking in multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)radar systems is proposed.By selecting an optimal subset of sensors with the predetermined size and implementing the power allocation and bandwidth strategies among them,this algorithm can help achieving a better performance within the same resource constraints.Firstly,the Bayesian Cramer-Rao bound(BCRB)is derived from it.Secondly,a criterion for minimizing the BCRB at the target location among all targets tracking in a certain range is derived.Thirdly,the optimization problem involved with three variable vectors is formulated,which can be simplified by deriving the relationship between the optimal power allocation vector and the bandwidth allocation vector.Then,the simplified optimization problem is solved by the cyclic minimization algorithm incorporated with the sequential parametric convex approximation(SPCA)algorithm.Finally,the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated with simulation results.

Sparse channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems using distributed compressed sensing

A sparse channel estimation method is proposed for doubly selective channels in multiple- input multiple-output （ MIMO ） orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （ OFDM ） systems. Based on the basis expansion model （BEM） of the channel, the joint-sparsity of MIMO-OFDM channels is described. The sparse characteristics enable us to cast the channel estimation as a distributed compressed sensing （DCS） problem. Then, a low complexity DCS-based estimation scheme is designed. Compared with the conventional compressed channel estimators based on the compressed sensing （CS） theory, the DCS-based method has an improved efficiency because it reconstructs the MIMO channels jointly rather than addresses them separately. Furthermore, the group-sparse structure of each single channel is also depicted. To effectively use this additional structure of the sparsity pattern, the DCS algorithm is modified. The modified algorithm can further enhance the estimation performance. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our method over fast fading channels in MIMO-OFDM systems.

Modified OMP method for multi-target parameter estimation in frequency-agile distributed MIMO radar

Introducing frequency agility into a distributed multipleinput multiple-output(MIMO)radar can significantly enhance its anti-jamming ability.However,it would cause the sidelobe pedestal problem in multi-target parameter estimation.Sparse recovery is an effective way to address this problem,but it cannot be directly utilized for multi-target parameter estimation in frequency-agile distributed MIMO radars due to spatial diversity.In this paper,we propose an algorithm for multi-target parameter estimation according to the signal model of frequency-agile distributed MIMO radars,by modifying the orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)algorithm.The effectiveness of the proposed method is then verified by simulation results.

Pilot Contamination Elimination in Massive MIMO Systems with an Improved Time-Shifted Scheme

Pilot contamination can bring up a grave impairment in the performance of massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)systems.In this paper,an improved time-shifted pilot scheme is proposed to reduce the pilot contamination,where orthogonal pilots are employed in the same group to eliminate the residual intragroup interference existing in the original time-shifted pilot scheme.Meanwhile,the rigorous closed-form expressions of both downlink and uplink transmission rates with a finite number of antennas are derived,and it is shown that the intra-group interference can be completely eliminated by the proposed scheme.Simulation results demonstrate that both downlink and uplink transmission rates are significantly improved by employing the proposed scheme.

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.

A survey on user-centric cell-free massive MIMO systems

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.

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)multipoint-to-multipoint(M2M) systems,in order to avoid pilot contamination and improve the performance of capacity,a pilot training transmission scheme was designed for pilot decontamination by utilizing orthogonal subcarriers 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 M2 M 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 optimization 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 well as sumrate contrast to existing algorithms.In addition,it shows that the proposed M2 M massive MIMO system works steadily when the number of users increases in large scale.

Ensemble-transfer-learning-based channel parameter prediction in asymmetric massive MIMO systems

Asymmetric massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)systems have been proposed to reduce the burden of data processing and hardware cost in sixth-generation mobile networks(6G).However,in the asymmetric massive MIMO system,reciprocity between the uplink(UL)and downlink(DL)wireless channels is not valid.As a result,pilots are required to be sent by both the base station(BS)and user equipment(UE)to predict doubledirectional channels,which consumes more transmission and computational resources.In this paper we propose an ensemble-transfer-learning-based channel parameter prediction method for asymmetric massive MIMO systems.It can predict multiple DL channel parameters including path loss(PL),multipath number,delay spread(DS),and angular spread.Both the UL channel parameters and environment features are chosen to predict the DL parameters.Also,we propose a two-step feature selection algorithm based on the SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)value and the minimum description length(MDL)criterion to reduce the computation complexity and negative impact on model accuracy caused by weakly correlated or uncorrelated features.In addition,the instance transfer method is introduced to support the prediction model in new propagation conditions,where it is difficult to collect enough training data in a short time.Simulation results show that the proposed method is more accurate than the back propagation neural network(BPNN)and the 3GPP TR 38.901 channel model.Additionally,the proposed instancetransfer-based method outperforms the method without transfer learning in predicting DL parameters when the beamwidth or the communication sector changes.

Prior information based channel estimation for millimeter-wave massive MIMO vehicular communications in 5G and beyond

Millimeter wave(mm Wave) has been claimed as the viable solution for high-bandwidth vehicular communications in 5 G and beyond. To realize applications in future vehicular communications, it is important to take a robust mm Wave vehicular network into consideration. However, one challenge in such a network is that mm Wave should provide an ultra-fast and high-rate data exchange among vehicles or vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2 I). Moreover,traditional real-time channel estimation strategies are unavailable because vehicle mobility leads to a fast variation mm Wave channel. To overcome these issues, a channel estimation approach for mm Wave V2 I communications is proposed in this paper. Specifically, by considering a fast-moving vehicle secnario, a corresponding mathematical model for a fast time-varying channel is first established. Then, the temporal variation rule between the base station and each mobile user and the determined direction-of-arrival are used to predict the time-varying channel prior information(PI). Finally, by exploiting the PI and the characteristics of the channel, the time-varying channel is estimated. The simulation results show that the scheme in this paper outperforms traditional ones in both normalized mean square error and sum-rate performance in the mm Wave time-varying vehicular system.

Performance analysis and power allocation of mixed-ADC multi-cell millimeter-wave massive MIMO systems with antenna selection

In this study,we consider a multi-cell millimeter-wave(mmWave)massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)system with a mixed analog-to-digital converter(mixed-ADC)and hybrid beamforming architecture,in which antenna selection is applied to achieve intelligent assignment of high-and low-resolution ADCs.Both exact and approximate closed-form expressions for the uplink achievable rate are derived in the case of maximum-ratio combining reception.The impacts on the achievable rate of user transmit power,number of radio frequency chains at a base station,ratio of high-resolution ADCs,number of propagation paths,and number of quantization bits are analyzed.It is shown that the user transmit power can be scaled down inversely proportional to the number of antennas at the base station.We propose an efficient power allocation scheme by solving a complementary geometric programming problem.In addition,the energy efficiency is investigated,and an optimal tradeoff between the achievable rate and power consumption is discussed.Our results will provide a useful reference for the study of mixed-ADC multi-cell mmWave massive MIMO systems with antenna selection.

Joint DOA and channel estimation with data detection based on 2D unitary ESPRIT in massive MIMO systems

We propose a novel method for joint two-dimensional (2D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) and channel estimation with data detection for uniform rectangular arrays (URAs) for the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The conventional DOA estimation algorithms usually assume that the channel impulse responses are known exactly. However, the large number of antennas in a massive MIMO system can lead to a challenge in estimating accurate corresponding channel impulse responses. In contrast, a joint DOA and channel estimation scheme is proposed, which first estimates the channel impulse responses for the links between the transmitters and antenna elements using training sequences. After that, the DOAs of the waves are estimated based on a unitary ESPRIT algorithm using previous channel impulse response estimates instead of accurate channel impulse responses and then, the enhanced channel impulse response estimates can be obtained. The proposed estimator enjoys closedform expressions, and thus it bypasses the search and pairing processes. In addition, a low-complexity approach toward data detection is presented by reducing the dimension of the inversion matrix in massive MIMO systems.Different cases for the proposed method are analyzed by changing the number of antennas. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
