摘要:

传统的集中式基带处理架构面临着计算复杂度高和过多前传通信的瓶颈,特别是当基站(BS)天线数较多时。为了应对这两个挑战,已经提出了分散式基带处理(DPB)架构,其中BS天线被划分为多个集群,并且每个集群连接到本地基带单元(BBU)。在本文中,我们感兴趣的低复杂度分布式信道估计(CE)方法下的DBP架构,这是很少在文献中研究。目的是设计分布式CE算法,其可以执行以及集中式方案,但具有小的BBU间通信成本。具体地说,基于低复杂度的对角最小均方误差信道估计器,提出了两种分布式CE算法,即聚合后估计算法和估计后聚合算法。与现有的分布式CE算法需要节点之间的迭代信息交换相比,我们的算法只需要在BBU之间进行一次往返通信。大量的实验结果表明,所提出的分布式CE算法的估计精度,BBU间的通信成本,计算复杂度方面的优势。

英文摘要:

The traditional centralized baseband processing architecture is faced with the bottlenecks of high computation complexity and excessive fronthaul communication, especially when the number of antennas at the base station (BS) is large. To cope with these two challenges, the decentralized baseband processing (DPB) architecture has been proposed, where the BS antennas are partitioned into multiple clusters, and each is connected to a local baseband unit (BBU). In this paper, we are interested in the low-complexity distributed channel estimation (CE) method under such DBP architecture, which is rarely studied in the literature. The aim is to devise distributed CE algorithms that can perform as well as the centralized scheme but with a small inter-BBU communication cost. Specifically, based on the low-complexity diagonal minimum mean square error channel estimator, we propose two distributed CE algorithms, namely the aggregate-then-estimate algorithm and the estimate-then-aggregate algorithm. In contrast to the existing distributed CE algorithm which requires iterative information exchanges among the nodes, our algorithms only require one roundtrip communication among BBUs. Extensive experiment results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed distributed CE algorithms in terms of estimation accuracy, inter-BBU communication cost, and computation complexity.
