Abstract
Decentralized baseband processing (DBP) has been considered a promising solution to tackle the excessive computational complexity and substantial interconnection costs challenges faced by centralized implementations in massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) systems. However, most existing decentralized detectors experience considerable performance degradation resulting from limited information sharing among antenna clusters. In this letter, we propose a decentralized feedforward-feedback interference cancellation (FFIC) detection paradigm for DBP architectures, which is well-suited for message-passing-based nonlinear detectors. The expectation propagation (EP) algorithm is employed as an illustrative example. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FFIC-EP detector yields significant performance improvements compared to conventional methods, providing a flexible trade-off between performance, complexity, and interconnection costs, especially in scenarios with low BS-antenna-to-user ratios.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
