Novel Design

Precoding techniques are used in the downlink of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems in order to separate the information data streams aimed at scattered user terminals. Vector precoding (VP) is one of the most promising non-linear precoding schemes, which achieves a performance close to the optimum albeit impractical dirty paper coding (DPC) with a feasible complexity. This contribution presents a novel design for the hardware implementation of a high-throughput vector precoder based on the Fixed Sphere Encoder (FSE) algorithm. The proposed fixed-complexity scheme greatly reduces the complexity of the most intricate part of VP, namely the search for the perturbing signal in an infinite lattice. Additionally, an optimized reduced-complexity implementation is presented which considerably reduces the resource usage at the cost of a small performance loss. Provided simulation results show the better performance of the proposed vector precoder in comparison to other fixed-complexity approaches, such as the K-Best precoder, under similar complexity constraints.

User Interference

A number of requirements for 5G mobile communication are satisfied by adopting multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) systems. The inter user interference (IUI) which is an inevitable problem in MU-MIMO systems becomes controllable when the precoding scheme is used. The proposed scheme, which is one of the precoding schemes, is built on regularized block diagonalization (RBD) precoding and utilizes the partial nulling concept, which is to leave part of the IUI at the same time. Diversity gain is obtained by leaving IUI, which is made by choosing the row vectors of the channel matrix that are not nullified. Since the criterion for choosing the row vectors of the channel is the power of the channel, the number of selected row vectors of the channel for each device can be unfair. The proposed scheme achieves performance enhancement by obtaining diversity gain. Therefore, the bit error rate (BER) performance is better and the computational complexity is lower than RBD when the same data rate is achieved. When the number of reduced data streams is not enough for most devices to achieve diversity gain, the proposed scheme has better performance compared to generalized block diagonalization (GBD). The low complexity at the receiver is achieved compared to GBD by using the simple way to remove IUI.

In order to apply sphere decoding algorithm in multiple-input multiple-output communication systems and to make it feasible for real-time applications, its computational complexity should be decreased. To achieve this goal, this paper provides some useful insights into the effect of initial and the final sphere radii and estimating them effortlessly. It also discusses practical ways of initiating the algorithm properly and terminating it before the normal end of the process as well as the cost of these methods. Besides, a novel algorithm is introduced which utilizes the presented techniques according to a threshold factor which is defined in terms of the number of transmit antennas and the noise variance. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm offers a desirable performance and reasonable complexity satisfying practical constraints.

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.

In this study, a low complexity tabu search (TS) algorithm for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is proposed. To reduce the computational complexity of the TS algorithm, early neighbor rejection (ENR) and layer ordering schemes are employed. In the proposed ENR-aided TS (ENR-TS) algorithm, the least promising k neighbors are excluded from the neighbor set in each layer, which reduces the computational complexity of neighbor examination in each TS iteration. For efficient computation of the neighbors’ metrics, the ENR scheme can be incorporated into QR decomposition-aided TS (ENR-QR-TS). To further reduce the complexity and improve the performance of the ENR-QR-TS scheme, a layer ordering scheme is employed. The layer ordering scheme determines the order in which layers are detected based on their expected metrics, which reduces the risk of excluding likely neighbors in early layers. The simulation results show that the ENR-TS achieves nearly the same performance as the conventional TS while providing up to 82% complexity reduction.

Abstract A considerable amount of enabling technologies are being explored in the era of fifth generation (5G) mobile system. The dream is to build a wireless network that substantially improves the existing mobile networks in all performance metrics. To address this 5G design targets, massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) and mmWave (millimeter wave) communication are also candidate technologies. Luckily, in many respects these two technologies share a symbiotic integration. Accordingly, a logical step is to integrate mmWave communications and massive MIMO to form mmWave-massive MIMO which substantially increases user throughput, improve spectral and energy efficiencies, increase the capacity of mobile networks and achieve high multiplexing gains. Thus, this work analyses the concepts, performances, comparison and discussion of these technologies called: massive MIMO, mmWave Communications and mmWave-massive MIMO systems jointly. Besides, outcomes of extensive researches, emerging trends together with their respective benefits, challenges, proposed solutions and their comparative analysis is addressed. The performance of hybrid analog-digital beamforming architecture with a fully digital and analog beamforming techniques are also analyzed. Analytical and simulation results show that the low-complexity hybrid analog-digital precoding achieves all round comparable precoding gains for mmWave-Massive MIMO technology.

The Cost

In filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) systems, a large pilot overhead is required due to the existence of the imaginary interference. In this paper, we present an approach to reduce the pilot overhead of channel estimation. A part of pilot overhead is used for transmitting data, and compensating symbols are required and designed to remove the imaginary interference. It is worthwhile to point out that the power of compensating symbols can be helpful for data recovery; hence, the proposed approach decreases the overhead of pilots significantly without the cost of additional pilot energy. In addition, the proposed scheme is extended into multiple input multiple output systems without the performance loss. Compared with the conventional preamble consisting of 3 columns symbols, the pilot overhead is equivalent to 2 column symbols in the proposed preamble. To verify the proposed preamble, numerical simulations are carried out with respects to bit error ratio.

The Impact

In massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) systems, a detector based on maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm attains optimum performance, but it exhaustively searches all possible solutions, hence, it has a very high complexity and realization is denied. Linear detectors are an alternative solution because of low complexity and simplicity in implementation. Unfortunately, they culminate in a matrix inversion that increases the computational complexity in high loaded systems. Therefore, several iterative methods have been proposed to approximate or avoid the matrix inversion, such as the Neuamnn series (NS), Newton iterations (NI), successive overrelaxation (SOR), Gauss–Siedel (GS), Jacobi (JA), and Richardson (RI) methods. However, a detector based on iterative methods requires a pre-processing and initialization where good initialization impresses the convergence, the performance, and the complexity. Most of the existing iterative linear detectors are using a diagonal matrix ( D ) in initialization because the equalization matrix is almost diagonal. This paper studies the impact of utilizing a stair matrix ( S ) instead of D in initializing the linear M-MIMO uplink (UL) detector. A comparison between iterative linear M-MIMO UL detectors with D and S is presented in performance and computational complexity. Numerical Results show that utilization of S achieves the target performance within few iterations, and, hence, the computational complexity is reduced. A detector based on the GS and S achieved a satisfactory bit-error-rate (BER) with the lowest complexity.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can bring many advantages to wireless communication but suffer from high cost and complexity due to the multiple RF chains. In such systems, antenna selection is introduced as a technique to ease these problems.This paper addressedthe problem of antenna selection in spatially correlated channels. We propose an effective antenna selection method in terms of capacity maximization based on the transmit and/or the receive correlation matrix instead of the instantaneous channel state information (ICSI).Simulations will be used to validate our analysis and demonstrate that the number of required RF chains can be significantly decreased using our low complexity algorithm whileachieving very close performance to the ICSI-based method.

In today’s modern telecommunications systems, makes the number of studies and development of multiple antennas and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to achieve high reliability and low complexity. One attractive approach to improve that performance is using technique transmit diversity which is spacetime block coding and receiver diversity i.e. zero forcing EVCM (ZF EVCM). Although some earlier MIMO standards were develop some space-time codes like (O-STBC)and (Q-OSTBC) to provide high reliability but they are limited able to achieve orthogonality. In this research will be proposed a MIMO system scheme which is an improvement of QOSTBC that used a transmission diversity technique. This improvement from QOSTBC is Twice QOSTBC uses a provision in two codeword matrices to be sent are arranged diagonally so as to have higher levels of orthogonality. In this case Twice QOSTBC highly structured (4x1) can be replaced as an equivalent EVCM channel H. The proposed Twice-QOSTBC’s results outperform other QOSTBC techniques with a difference around 3 dB for single-input multi-input (MISO) input configuration at 10-6 BER and receiver ZF EVCM has a very similar structure as the code matrix S of the underlying Twice QSTBC which can eliminates the system complexity.

5G Communications will support millimeter waves (mm-Wave), alongside the conventional centimeter waves, which will enable much higher throughputs and facilitate the employment of hundreds or thousands of antenna elements, commonly referred to as massive Multiple Input–Multiple Output (MIMO) systems. This article proposes and studies an efficient low complexity receiver that jointly performs channel estimation based on superimposed pilots, and data detection, optimized for massive MIMO (m-MIMO). Superimposed pilots suppress the overheads associated with channel estimation based on conventional pilot symbols, which tends to be more demanding in the case of m-MIMO, leading to a reduction in spectral efficiency. On the other hand, MIMO systems tend to be associated with an increase of complexity and increase of signal processing, with an exponential increase with the number of transmit and receive antennas. A reduction of complexity is obtained with the use of the two proposed algorithms. These algorithms reduce the complexity but present the disadvantage that they generate a certain level of interference. In this article, we consider an iterative receiver that performs the channel estimation using superimposed pilots and data detection, while mitigating the interference associated with the proposed algorithms, leading to a performance very close to that obtained with conventional pilots, but without the corresponding loss in the spectral efficiency.
