Receive Spatial Modulation for Massive MIMO Systems
In this paper, we consider the downlink of a massive
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) single user transmission system operating
in the millimeter wave outdoor narrowband channel environment. We propose a
novel receive spatial modulation architecture aimed to reduce the power
consumption at the user terminal, while attaining a significant throughput. The
energy consumption reduction is obtained through the use of analog devices
(amplitude detector), which reduces the number of radio frequency chains and
analog-to-digital-converters (ADCs). The base station transmits spatial and
modulation symbols per channel use. We show that the optimal spatial symbol
detector is a threshold detector that can be implemented by using one bit ADC.
We derive closed form expressions for the detection threshold at different
signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regions showing that a simple threshold can be
obtained at high SNR and its performance approaches the exact threshold. We
derive expressions for the average bit error probability in the presence and
absence of the threshold estimation error showing that a small number of pilot
symbols is needed. A performance comparison is done between the proposed system
and fully digital MIMO showing that a suitable constellation selection can
reduce the performance gap
Generalized Spatial Modulation in Large-Scale Multiuser MIMO Systems
Generalized spatial modulation (GSM) uses transmit antenna elements but
fewer transmit radio frequency (RF) chains, . Spatial modulation (SM)
and spatial multiplexing are special cases of GSM with and
, respectively. In GSM, in addition to conveying information bits
through conventional modulation symbols (for example, QAM), the
indices of the active transmit antennas also convey information bits.
In this paper, we investigate {\em GSM for large-scale multiuser MIMO
communications on the uplink}. Our contributions in this paper include: ()
an average bit error probability (ABEP) analysis for maximum-likelihood
detection in multiuser GSM-MIMO on the uplink, where we derive an upper bound
on the ABEP, and () low-complexity algorithms for GSM-MIMO signal detection
and channel estimation at the base station receiver based on message passing.
The analytical upper bounds on the ABEP are found to be tight at moderate to
high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). The proposed receiver algorithms are found
to scale very well in complexity while achieving near-optimal performance in
large dimensions. Simulation results show that, for the same spectral
efficiency, multiuser GSM-MIMO can outperform multiuser SM-MIMO as well as
conventional multiuser MIMO, by about 2 to 9 dB at a bit error rate of
. Such SNR gains in GSM-MIMO compared to SM-MIMO and conventional MIMO
can be attributed to the fact that, because of a larger number of spatial index
bits, GSM-MIMO can use a lower-order QAM alphabet which is more power
efficient.Comment: IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications, accepte
On the Proximity Factors of Lattice Reduction-Aided Decoding
Lattice reduction-aided decoding features reduced decoding complexity and
near-optimum performance in multi-input multi-output communications. In this
paper, a quantitative analysis of lattice reduction-aided decoding is
presented. To this aim, the proximity factors are defined to measure the
worst-case losses in distances relative to closest point search (in an infinite
lattice). Upper bounds on the proximity factors are derived, which are
functions of the dimension of the lattice alone. The study is then extended
to the dual-basis reduction. It is found that the bounds for dual basis
reduction may be smaller. Reasonably good bounds are derived in many cases. The
constant bounds on proximity factors not only imply the same diversity order in
fading channels, but also relate the error probabilities of (infinite) lattice
decoding and lattice reduction-aided decoding.Comment: remove redundant figure
