摘要:

作为大规模机器类型通信(mMTC)的关键使能器,空间复用依赖于大规模多输入多输出(mMIMO)技术来服务于大量用户设备(UE)。为了利用空间复用,需要通过导频信号进行精确的信道估计。在mMTC系统中,向每个UE分配唯一的正交导频序列是不切实际的,因为这将需要太长的导频序列,从而降低频谱效率。本工作解决了相关衰落信道的信道特征的设计,以协助导频分配下的正交序列的导频复用的多扇区mMTC系统。为了减少导频冲突,并使导频重用,我们建议从信道协方差矩阵,反映UE信道之间的正交性的水平提取功能。研究了两种特征:协方差矩阵距离(CMD)特征和CMD辅助信道图(CC)特征。在误符号率和可达速率方面,基于CC的特征显示出优于基于CMD的特征和基线导频分配算法的性能。

英文摘要:

As a key enabler for massive machine-type communications (mMTC), spatial multiplexing relies on massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) technology to serve the massive number of user equipments (UEs). To exploit spatial multiplexing, accurate channel estimation through pilot signals is needed. In mMTC systems, it is impractical to allocate a unique orthogonal pilot sequence to each UE as it would require too long pilot sequences, degrading the spectral efficiency. This work addresses the design of channel features from correlated fading channels to assist the pilot assignment in multi-sector mMTC systems under pilot reuse of orthogonal sequences. In order to reduce pilot collisions and to enable pilot reuse, we propose to extract features from the channel covariance matrices that reflect the level of orthogonality between the UEs channels. Two features are investigated: covariance matrix distance (CMD) feature and CMD-aided channel charting (CC) feature. In terms of symbol error rate and achievable rate, the CC-based feature shows superior performance than the CMD-based feature and baseline pilot assignment algorithms.
