Low-Complexity Detection/Equalization in Large-Dimension MIMO-ISI Channels Using Graphical Models
In this paper, we deal with low-complexity near-optimal
detection/equalization in large-dimension multiple-input multiple-output
inter-symbol interference (MIMO-ISI) channels using message passing on
graphical models. A key contribution in the paper is the demonstration that
near-optimal performance in MIMO-ISI channels with large dimensions can be
achieved at low complexities through simple yet effective
simplifications/approximations, although the graphical models that represent
MIMO-ISI channels are fully/densely connected (loopy graphs). These include 1)
use of Markov Random Field (MRF) based graphical model with pairwise
interaction, in conjunction with {\em message/belief damping}, and 2) use of
Factor Graph (FG) based graphical model with {\em Gaussian approximation of
interference} (GAI). The per-symbol complexities are and
for the MRF and the FG with GAI approaches, respectively, where
and denote the number of channel uses per frame, and number of transmit
antennas, respectively. These low-complexities are quite attractive for large
dimensions, i.e., for large . From a performance perspective, these
algorithms are even more interesting in large-dimensions since they achieve
increasingly closer to optimum detection performance for increasing .
Also, we show that these message passing algorithms can be used in an iterative
manner with local neighborhood search algorithms to improve the
reliability/performance of -QAM symbol detection
High-Rate Space-Time Coded Large MIMO Systems: Low-Complexity Detection and Channel Estimation
In this paper, we present a low-complexity algorithm for detection in
high-rate, non-orthogonal space-time block coded (STBC) large-MIMO systems that
achieve high spectral efficiencies of the order of tens of bps/Hz. We also
present a training-based iterative detection/channel estimation scheme for such
large STBC MIMO systems. Our simulation results show that excellent bit error
rate and nearness-to-capacity performance are achieved by the proposed
multistage likelihood ascent search (M-LAS) detector in conjunction with the
proposed iterative detection/channel estimation scheme at low complexities. The
fact that we could show such good results for large STBCs like 16x16 and 32x32
STBCs from Cyclic Division Algebras (CDA) operating at spectral efficiencies in
excess of 20 bps/Hz (even after accounting for the overheads meant for pilot
based training for channel estimation and turbo coding) establishes the
effectiveness of the proposed detector and channel estimator. We decode perfect
codes of large dimensions using the proposed detector. With the feasibility of
such a low-complexity detection/channel estimation scheme, large-MIMO systems
with tens of antennas operating at several tens of bps/Hz spectral efficiencies
can become practical, enabling interesting high data rate wireless
applications.Comment: v3: Performance/complexity comparison of the proposed scheme with
other large-MIMO architectures/detectors has been added (Sec. IV-D). The
paper has been accepted for publication in IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in
Signal Processing (JSTSP): Spl. Iss. on Managing Complexity in Multiuser MIMO
Systems. v2: Section V on Channel Estimation is update
Low-complexity dominance-based Sphere Decoder for MIMO Systems
The sphere decoder (SD) is an attractive low-complexity alternative to
maximum likelihood (ML) detection in a variety of communication systems. It is
also employed in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems where the
computational complexity of the optimum detector grows exponentially with the
number of transmit antennas. We propose an enhanced version of the SD based on
an additional cost function derived from conditions on worst case interference,
that we call dominance conditions. The proposed detector, the king sphere
decoder (KSD), has a computational complexity that results to be not larger
than the complexity of the sphere decoder and numerical simulations show that
the complexity reduction is usually quite significant
