摘要:

在现实的大规模多用户(MU)多输入多输出(MIMO)无线系统中实现高频谱效率需要用于上行链路(用户向基站发送)中的数据检测和下行链路(基站向用户发送)中的波束成形的计算复杂的算法。大多数现有算法被设计为在基站(BS)处的集中式计算硬件上执行,这导致具有数百或数千个天线的系统的过高的复杂性,并且生成超过当前互连技术和芯片I/O接口的限制的原始基带数据率。本文提出了一种新的分散式基带处理架构,通过将BS天线阵列划分为集群来消除这些瓶颈,每个集群与独立的射频链、模拟和数字调制电路以及计算硬件相关联。对于这种架构,我们开发了新的分散的数据检测和波束形成算法,只访问本地信道状态信息,并要求集群之间的低通信带宽。我们研究了错误率性能,计算复杂性和互连带宽之间的相关权衡,我们证明了我们的解决方案的可扩展性,大规模MU-MIMO系统与成千上万的BS天线使用参考实现的图形处理单元(GPU)集群。

英文摘要:

Achieving high spectral efficiency in realistic massive multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems requires computationally-complex algorithms for data detection in the uplink (users transmit to base-station) and beamforming in the downlink (base-station transmits to users). Most existing algorithms are designed to be executed on centralized computing hardware at the base-station (BS), which results in prohibitive complexity for systems with hundreds or thousands of antennas and generates raw baseband data rates that exceed the limits of current interconnect technology and chip I/O interfaces. This paper proposes a novel decentralized baseband processing architecture that alleviates these bottlenecks by partitioning the BS antenna array into clusters, each associated with independent radio-frequency chains, analog and digital modulation circuitry, and computing hardware. For this architecture, we develop novel decentralized data detection and beamforming algorithms that only access local channel-state information and require low communication bandwidth among the clusters. We study the associated trade-offs between error-rate performance, computational complexity, and interconnect bandwidth, and we demonstrate the scalability of our solutions for massive MU-MIMO systems with thousands of BS antennas using reference implementations on a graphic processing unit (GPU) cluster.
