Novel transmit antenna selection strategy for massive MIMO downlink channel

In this paper, we deal with the problem of acquiring the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter in large-scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, so-called massive MIMO systems. Clearly, obtaining CSI plays a central role to provide high system performance. Even though, in frequency-division duplexed systems, acquiring this information requires a prohibitive amount of feedback, since it increases with the number of transmit antenna. In this work, we design an efficient transmit antenna selection strategy aware of the amount of required CSI for a point-to-multipoint transmission in massive MIMO systems. The proposed strategy provides high sum-rate with limited CSI feedback and limited computational complexity. Innovatively, the antenna selection in our strategy is performed in a decentralized fashion successively at the receiving users. Two schemes are proposed in this work to perform the antenna selection at each user. Next, taking into consideration that the large-scale MIMO transmitter suffers from imperfect knowledge of CSI, we design a new performance criterion. Computer simulations validate that, when the CSI is perfectly known, the proposed strategy is able to achieve high performance in terms of system sum-rate while a significant reduction in both CSI feedback overhead and computational complexity is observed. Moreover, assuming imperfect CSI, the new proposed criterion achieves higher performance when the estimation accuracy is low and at high SNR regime.     

Reliability feedback–aided low‐complexity detection in uplink massive MIMO systems

Massive multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) plays a crucial role in realizing the demand for higher data rates and improved quality of service for 5G and beyond communication systems. Reliable detection of transmitted information bits from all the users is one of the challenging tasks for practical implementation of massive‐MIMO systems. The conventional linear detectors such as zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) achieve near‐optimal bit error rate (BER) performance. However, ZF and MMSE require large dimensional matrix inversion which induces high computational complexity for symbol detection in such systems. This motivates for devising alternate low‐complexity near‐optimal detection algorithms for uplink massive‐MIMO systems. In this work, we propose an ordered sequential detection algorithm that exploits the concept of reliability feedback for achieving near‐optimal performance in uplink massive‐MIMO systems. In the proposed algorithm, symbol corresponding to each user is detected in an ordered sequence by canceling the interference from all the other users, followed by reliability feedback‐based decision. Incorporation of the sequence ordering and the reliability feedback‐based decision enhances the interference cancellation, which reduces the error propagation in sequential detection, and thus, improves the BER performance. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms recently reported massive‐MIMO detection techniques in terms of BER performance. In addition, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is substantially lower than that of the existing algorithms for the same BER. This indicates that the proposed algorithm exhibits a desirable trade‐off between the complexity and the performance for massive‐MIMO systems.     

Joint estimation of the channel and I/Q imbalance for two-way relay networks

In modern day communication systems, the massive MIMO architecture plays a pivotal role in enhancing the spatial multiplexing gain, but vice versa the system energy efficiency is compromised. Consequently, resource allocation in-terms of antenna selection becomes inevitable to increase energy efficiency without having any obvious effect or compromising the system spectral efficiency. Optimal antenna selection can be performed using exhaustive search. However, for a massive MIMO architecture, exhaustive search is not a feasible option due to the exponential growth in computational complexity with an increase in the number of antennas. We have proposed a computationally efficient and optimum algorithm based on the probability distribution learning for transmit antenna selection. An estimation of the distribution algorithm is a learning algorithm which learns from the probability distribution of best possible solutions. The proposed solution is computationally efficient and can obtain an optimum solution for the real time antenna selection problem. Since precoding and beamforming are also considered essential techniques to combat path loss incurred due to high frequency communications, so after antenna selection, successive interference cancellation algorithm is adopted for precoding with selected antennas. Simulation results verify that the proposed joint antenna selection and precoding solution is computationally efficient and near optimal in terms of spectral efficiency with respect to exhaustive search scheme. Furthermore, the energy efficiency of the system is also optimized by the proposed algorithm, resulting in performance enhancement of massive MIMO systems.
