Non-coherent Massive SIMO Systems in ISI Channels: Constellation Design and Performance Analysis
A massive single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system with a single transmit
antenna and a large number of receive antennas in intersymbol interference
(ISI) channels is considered. Contrast to existing energy detection (ED)-based
non-coherent receiver where conventional pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is
employed, we propose a constellation design which minimizes the symbol-error
rate (SER) with the knowledge of channel statistics. To make a comparison, we
derive the SERs of the ED-based receiver with both the proposed constellation
and PAM, namely and . Specifically, asymptotic
behaviors of the SER in regimes of a large number of receive antennas and high
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are investigated. Analytical results demonstrate
that the logarithms of both and decrease
approximately linearly with the number of receive antennas, while
degrades faster. It is also shown that the proposed design is of less cost,
because compared with PAM, less antennas are required to achieve the same error
rate
