Lei Cheng, Liang Liu, Shuguang Cui

摘要:

本文研究了面向未来物联网(IoT)应用的大规模机器类型通信(mMTC),其中网络中存在大量IoT设备,并且其中的随机子集在每个时刻都变得活跃。基于基站(BS)具有大量天线时,接收信号的协方差矩阵可以在空间域中准确估计的事实,提出了一种基于协方差的大规模多输入多输出(多输入多输出)辅助mMTC系统中的设备活动检测和信道估计策略.针对该策略,首先提出了一种新的导频序列设计方法,其中每个设备的导频仅由唯一的相位参数确定。然后,通过估计对接收协方差矩阵有贡献的活动导频序列的相位参数,提出了一种有效的算法来检测活动设备,而无需关于活动设备总数的先验信息。最后,在对有源设备进行估计的基础上,基于传统的最小均方误差(MMSE)方法进行了信道估计。值得注意的是,我们提出的策略是能够获得所有的结果在封闭的形式,因此是低得多的复杂度相比,现有的策略是基于迭代算法的设备检测和信道估计。

英文摘要:

This paper studies the massive machine-type communications (mMTC) for the future Internet of Things (IoT) applications, where a large number of IoT devices exist in the network and a random subset of them become active at each time instant. Building upon the fact that the covariance matrix of the received signal can be accurately estimated in the spatial domain if the base station (BS) is equipped with a massive number of antennas, we propose a covariance-based device activity detection and channel estimation strategy in a massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) aided mMTC system. For this strategy, a novel approach for the pilot sequence design is first provided, where the pilot of each device is merely determined by a unique phase parameter. Then, by estimating the phase parameters of the active pilot sequences that contribute to the received covariance matrix, an efficient algorithm is proposed to detect the active devices without the prior information about the total number of active devices. At last, given the estimation of active devices, channel estimation is conducted based on the conventional minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) approach. It is worth noting that our proposed strategy is able to obtain all the results in closed-forms, and is thus of much lower complexity compared to the existing strategies that are based on iterative algorithms for device detection and channel estimation.
