Abstract

En 中文
This paper considers an uplink massive MIMO system, in which the base station (BS) is equipped with a very large antenna array to serve multiple users simultaneously in the presence of out-of-cell interferers. Multi-cell minimum mean-square-error (M-MMSE) detection is used to mitigate co-channel interference (CCI) and multipath fading effects. However, this receiver processing brings high computational complexity to bear in a real-time massive MIMO scenario. To overcome this higher complexity, novel two-layer linear receiver processing schemes are proposed in this work, which can achieve a good tradeoff between performance and complexity. The proposed architecture consists of two layers: 1) splitting the antenna array into a number of subsets, and performing M-MMSE processing at the subset level; 2) combining the resulting subset outputs using either MRC or M-MMSE detectors. Taking into account both small- and large-scale fading, we investigate the system performance and the computational complexity of the proposed receivers. To further characterize the advantages of the proposed schemes, they are compared with conventional detectors. Numerical simulations show that the proposed schemes approach the performance of conventional M-MMSE processing, albeit with significantly reduced complexity. We also derived tight expressions for intra-cell and inter-cell residual interference powers at the output of the first processing layer. An important observation is that the inter-cell interference dominates the total interference, especially when shadowing is strong or the subset size is comparable to the total number of users. However, performing M-MMSE at the second processing layer provides significant gains in this context.
