Robust massive MIMO Equilization for mmWave systems with low resolution ADCs
Leveraging the available millimeter wave spectrum will be important for 5G.
In this work, we investigate the performance of digital beamforming with low
resolution ADCs based on link level simulations including channel estimation,
MIMO equalization and channel decoding. We consider the recently agreed 3GPP NR
type 1 OFDM reference signals. The comparison shows sequential DCD outperforms
MMSE-based MIMO equalization both in terms of detection performance and
complexity. We also show that the DCD based algorithm is more robust to channel
estimation errors. In contrast to the common believe we also show that the
complexity of MMSE equalization for a massive MIMO system is not dominated by
the matrix inversion but by the computation of the Gram matrix.Comment: submitted to WCNC 2018 Workshop
