이 논문에서는 IST (information society technologies)-WINNER (wireless world initiative new radio) 프로젝트에서 MU-MIMO (multiuser multiple-input multiple-output) 프리코딩 방식으로 채택된 SMMSE (successive minimum mean square error) 프리코딩 방법의 프리코딩 행렬 생성을 단순화하기 위한 $S^{2}MMSE$ (simplified SMMSE) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘이 모든 사용자들의 모든 수신 안테나들을 대상으로 개별 MMSE nulling을 필요로 하는 프리코멍 벡터들을 생성하는 것과 대조적으로, 제안되는 알고리즘은 먼저 사용자 별 MMSE nulling 과정을 수행하고, 해당 사용자 내에서는 이 결과를 공통으로 이용하여 개별 수신 안테나에서 추가적인 MMSE nulling 과정 없이 단순한 행렬-벡터 곱으로 프리코딩 벡터를 계산한다. 따라서, 이 알고리즘을 사용하면 SMMSE 프리코딩을 위한 프리코멍 행렬 생성을 크게 단순화시킬 수 있다.

In this letter, we propose an efficient near-optimal detection scheme (that makes use of a generalized sphere decoder (GSD)) for blind multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. In practical MU-MIMO systems, a receiver suffers from interference because the precoding matrix, the result of the precoding technique used, is quantized with limited feedback and is thus imperfect. The proposed scheme can achieve near-optimal performance with low complexity by using a GSD to detect several additional interference signals. In addition, the proposed scheme is suitable for use in blind systems.

In this paper, we propose a fixed-complexity sphere encoder (FSE) for multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) systems. The proposed FSE accomplishes a scalable tradeoff between performance and complexity. Also, because it has a parallel tree-search structure, the proposed encoder can be easily pipelined, leading to a tremendous reduction in the precoding latency. The complexity of the proposed encoder is also analyzed, and we propose two techniques that reduce it. Simulation and analytical results demonstrate that in a $4{\times}4$ MU-MIMO system, the proposed FSE requires only 11.5% of the computational complexity needed by the conventional QR decomposition with M-algorithm encoder (QRDM-E). Also, the encoding throughput of the proposed encoder is 7.5 times that of the QRDM-E with tolerable degradation in the BER performance, while achieving the optimum diversity order.

본 논문에서는 다중 사용자 MIMO 시스템을 위한 고정 복잡도를 갖는 스피어 인코더 (FSE)를 제안하고, FSE의 복잡도를 감소시키는 2가지 방법을 제시한다. FSE는 성능과 복잡도 간의 트레이드오프 관계를 적응적으로 조절할 수 있고, 병렬의 트리 탐색구조를 적용함으로써 프리코딩 지연을 상당히 감소시킬 수 있다. $4\times4$ 다중 사용자 MIMO 시스템에서 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 제안한 FSE는 QRDM 인코더 (QRDM-E)에 비하여 작은 BER 성능 감소를 가져오지만 최적의 다이버시티 오더를 달성함과 더불어 일반적인 QRDM-E 복잡도의 16%정도만을 갖고, 인코딩 처리량(throughput)이 7.5배 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) is the core technology for improving the channel capacity compared to Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) by using multiuser gain and spatial diversity. Key problem for the MU-MIMO is the user selection which is the grouping the users optimally. To solve this problem, we adopt Extreme Value Theory (EVT) at the beginning of the proposed algorithm, which defines a primary user set instead of a single user that has maximum channel power according to a predetermined threshold. Each user in the primary set is then paired with all of the users in the system to define user groups. By comparing these user groups, the group that produces a maximum sum rate can be determined. Through computer simulations, we have found that the proposed method outperforms the conventional technique yielding a sum rate that is 0.81 bps/Hz higher when the transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR) is 30 dB and the total number of users is 100.

최근에 심층신경망(DNN)을 활용하여 채널 추정, 채널 양자화, 피드백, 프리코딩 과정을 통합하여 모델링하는 연구가 진행되었다. 해당연구는 기존에 이론적으로 어렵던 통합 최적화를 deep learning (DL)을 기반으로 수행하여 기존의 실제 codebook을 활용하는 프리코딩기법에 비해 높은 잠재력이 있음을 보였다. 하지만 기존의 기법은 랜덤하게 정해진 소수의 사용자만을 대상으로하며, 기존의 기법과 다르게 스케줄링이 포함된 환경에는 적응이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 심층신경망기반의 프리코딩기법이 활용가능한 스케줄링 방식을 연구하여 기존의 결과와 비교한다.

In this paper, we propose a low complexity multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection algorithm with adaptive interference mitigation in downlink multiuser MIMO (DL MU-MIMO) systems with quantization error of the channel state information (CSI) feedback. In DL MU-MIMO systems using the imperfect precoding matrix caused by quantization error of the CSI feedback, the station receives the desired signal as well as the residual interference signal. Therefore, a complexMIMO detection algorithm with interference mitigation is required for mitigating the residual interference. To reduce the computational complexity, we propose a MIMO detection algorithm with adaptive interference mitigation. The proposed algorithm adaptively mitigates the residual interference by using the maximum likelihood detection (MLD) error criterion (MEC). We derive a theoretical MEC by using the MLD error condition and a practical MEC by approximating the theoretical MEC. In conclusion, the proposed algorithm adaptively performs interference mitigation when satisfying the practical MEC. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the computational complexity and has the same performance, compared to the generalized sphere decoder, which always performs interference mitigation.

본 논문은 다중 사용자 MIMO 시스템에서 사용자 선택을 위해 필요한 precoding matrix index (PMI)/channel quality indication (CQI)의 보고 방식에 따른 성능을 분석한다. 이러한 분석을 통해 셀 내의 단말의 수, 선택되는 사용자의 수, 그리고 코드북(codebook)의 크기가 Best Companion Grouping (BCG)방식 스케쥴링의 성능에 복잡하게 영향을 미치는 것을 확인한다. 이에 따라 셀 내의 사용자 수와 코드북의 크기에 따라 동시에 스케쥴링 되는 사용자들의 그룹이 형성될 수 있는 확률이 달라지는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 피드백 오버헤드가 주어졌을 때 이에 따라 피드백하는 PMI의 수와 사용하는 코드북의 크기를 적응적으로 선택함으로써 시스템의 평균 수율 성능을 최적화할 수 있음을 보였다.

In multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) system, zero forcing beamforming (ZFB) is regarded as a realistic solution for transmitting scheme due to its low complexity and simple structure. However, ZFB shows a significant performance degradation when channel matrix has large condition number. In this case, the largest singular value of the channel inversion matrix has a dominant effect on transmit power. In this paper, we propose a perturbation method for reducing an effect of the dominant singular value. In the proposed algorithm, channel inverse matrix is first decomposed by SVD for the transmit signal to be expressed as a combination of singular vectors. Then, the transmit signal is perturbed to reduce the coefficient of the singular vector corresponding to the largest singular value. When a number of transmit antennas is 4, the simulation results of this paper shows that the proposed method shows 8dB performance enhancement at 10-3 uncoded bit error rate (BER) compared with conventional ZFB. Also, the simulation results show that the proposed method provides a comparable performance to Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) with much lower complexity.

This paper presents a novel user selection method based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), which is approximated using limited feedback data at the base stations (BSs) of multiple user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. In the proposed system, the codebook vector index, the quantization error obtained from the correlation between the measured channel and the codebook vector, and the measured value of the largest singular value are fed back from each user to the BS. The proposed method not only generates precoding vectors that are orthogonal to the precoding vectors of the previously selected users and are highly correlated with the codebook vector of each user but also adopts the quantization error in approximating the SINR, which eventually provides a significantly more accurate SINR than the conventional SINR-based user selection techniques. Computer simulations show that the proposed method enhances the sum rate of the conventional SINR-based methods by at least 2.4 (2.62) bps/Hz when the number of transmit antennas and number of receive antennas per user terminal is 4 and 1(2), respectively, with 100 candidate users and an SNR of 30 dB.
