A low-complexity Lanczos-algorithm-based detector with soft-output for multiuser massive MIMO systems

摘要

Abstract Zero-Forcing (ZF) algorithm achieves the near-optimal detection performance for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems at expense of performing the complicated matrix inversion of a high dimensional matrix. In this paper, a novel Lanczos-algorithm-based signal detection method with soft-output is proposed to iteratively realize ZF algorithm for multiuser massive MIIMO systems, which avoids the exact computation of matrix inversion and in turn reduces the computational complexity from O ( K 3 ) to O ( K 2 ) , where K denotes the number of users. In the development of the proposed method, by analyzing the iterative process of Lanczos algorithm, an approximate low-complexity scheme is proposed to calculate the log likelihood ratios (LLRs) for soft channel decoding. Simulation results show that the proposed detector provides a relatively good tradeoff between the complexity and performance compared with the several recently proposed detectors, and achieves almost the same performance as the ZF algorithm with only 3 iterations. ]]>
