Title: Low-Complexity Linear Decoupling of Users for Uplink Massive MU-MIMO Detection: A Divide and Conquer Approach

Abstract :

Massive MIMO (mMIMO) enables users with different requirements to get connected to the same base station (BS) on the same set of resources. In the uplink of Multi-user massive MIMO (MU-mMIMO), while such heterogeneous users are served, decoupling facilitates the use of user-specific detection schemes. In this talk, we present a low-complexity linear decoupling scheme called Sequential Decoupler (SD), which aids in the parallel detection of each user's data stream. The proposed algorithm shows significant complexity reduction. Simulations reveal that the complexity of the proposed scheme is only 0.15% of the conventional Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based decoupling and is about 47% of the pseudo-inverse based decoupling schemes when 80 users with two antennas each are served by the BS. Also, the proposed scheme is scalable when new users are added to the system and requires fewer operations than computing the decoupler all over again. Further numerical analyses indicate that the proposed scheme achieves significant complexity reduction without any degradation in performance and is a promising low-complex alternative to the existing decoupling schemes.
