Algorithms for Massive MIMO uplink detection and downlink precoding typically rely on a centralized approach, by which baseband data from all antenna modules are routed to a central node in order to be processed. In the case of Massive MIMO, where hundreds or thousands of antennas are expected in the base-station, said routing becomes a bottleneck since interconnection throughput is limited. This paper presents a fully decentralized architecture and an algorithm for Massive MIMO uplink detection and downlink precoding based on the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) method, which does not require a central node for these tasks. Through a recursive approach and very low complexity operations, the proposed algorithm provides a good trade-off between performance, interconnection throughput and latency. Further, our proposed solution achieves significantly lower interconnection data-rate than other architectures, enabling future scalability.

Algorithms for Massive MIMO uplink detection typically rely on a centralized approach, by which baseband data from all antennas modules are routed to a central node in order to be processed. In case of Massive MIMO, where hundreds or thousands of ant ennas are expected in the base-station, this architecture leads to a bottleneck, with critical limitations in terms of interconnection bandwidth requirements. This paper presents a fully decentralized architecture and algorithms for Massive MIMO uplink based on recursive methods, which do not require a central node for the detection process. Through a recursive approach and very low complexity operations, the proposed algorithms provide a sequence of estimates that converge asymptotically to the zero-forcing solution, without the need of specific hardware for matrix inversion. The proposed solution achieves significantly lower interconnection data-rate than other architectures, enabling future scalability.
We propose a decentralized receiver for extra-large multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) arrays. Our method operates with no central processing unit (CPU) and all the signal detection tasks are done in distributed nodes. We exploit a combined mes sage-passing framework to design an uncoordinated detection scheme that overcomes three major challenges in the XL-MIMO systems: computational complexity, scalability and non-stationarities in user energy distribution. Our numerical evaluations show a significant performance improvement compared to benchmark distributed methods while operating very close to the centralized receivers.
Conventional uplink equalization in massive MIMO systems relies on a centralized baseband processing architecture. However, as the number of base station antennas increases, centralized baseband processing architectures encounter two bottlenecks, i.e ., the tremendous data interconnection and the high-dimensional computation. To tackle these obstacles, decentralized baseband processing was proposed for uplink equalization, but only applicable to the scenarios with unpractical white Gaussian noise assumption. This paper presents an uplink linear minimum mean-square error (L-MMSE) equalization method in the daisy chain decentralized baseband processing architecture under colored noise assumption. The optimized L-MMSE equalizer is derived by exploiting the block coordinate descent method, which shows near-optimal performance both in theoretical and simulation while significantly mitigating the bottlenecks.
The Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) concept has emerged recently as a new paradigm for wireless communication, remote sensing and positioning. It consists of a continuous radiating surface placed relatively close to the users, which is able to commun icate with users by independent transmission and reception (replacing base stations). Despite of its potential, there are a lot of challenges from an implementation point of view, with the interconnection data-rate and computational complexity being the most relevant. Distributed processing techniques and hierarchical architectures are expected to play a vital role addressing this while ensuring scalability. In this paper we perform algorithm-architecture codesign and analyze the hardware requirements and architecture trade-offs for a discrete LIS to perform uplink detection. By doing this, we expect to give concrete case studies and guidelines for efficient implementation of LIS systems.
Radio frequency (RF) chain circuits play a major role in digital receiver architectures, allowing passband communication signals to be processed in baseband. When operating at high frequencies, these circuits tend to be costly. This increased cost im poses a major limitation on future multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication technologies. A common approach to mitigate the increased cost is to utilize hybrid architectures, in which the received signal is combined in analog into a lower dimension, thus reducing the number of RF chains. In this work we study the design and hardware implementation of hybrid architectures via minimizing channel estimation error. We first derive the optimal solution for complex-gain combiners and propose an alternating optimization algorithm for phase-shifter combiners. We then present a hardware prototype implementing analog combining for RF chain reduction. The prototype consists of a specially designed configurable combining board as well as a dedicated experimental setup. Our hardware prototype allows evaluating the effect of analog combining in MIMO systems using actual communication signals. The experimental study, which focuses on channel estimation accuracy in MIMO channels, demonstrates that using the proposed prototype, the achievable channel estimation performance is within a small gap in a statistical sense from that obtained using a costly receiver in which each antenna is connected to a dedicated RF chain.
