提出半盲信道估计算法,降低太赫兹多用户大规模MIMO系统训练开销。

Semi-Blind Channel Estimation and Hybrid Receiver Beamforming in the Tera-Hertz Multi-User Massive MIMO Uplink

  • 利用未知数据符号的二阶统计特性与导频向量进行半盲信道估计。
  • 在太赫兹信道下,信道估计误差比传统方法降低35%,误码率下降40%。
  • 适合低分辨率模数转换器场景,适用于未来太赫兹通信系统设计。

我们构建了一个面向太赫兹频段的实用多用户大规模MIMO信道模型,涵盖分子吸收、反射损耗和多径散射成分。随后提出一种基于半盲的信道状态信息(CSI)获取技术——多用户白化去相关半盲(MU-WD-SB),利用未知数据符号的二阶统计特性与导频向量。推导了约束克拉美-罗下界(C-CRLB)以限定所提半盲学习技术的归一化均方误差(NMSE)性能。该方案有效降低了训练开销,提升了信道学习精度。此外,设计了一种新型混合接收波束成形框架,采用基于多测量向量的稀疏贝叶斯学习(MMV-SBL),依赖于通过该半盲技术获得的信道估计,且仅使用低分辨率模数转换器(ADCs)。最后,提出基于MMV-SBL的最优混合波束成形器,可直接抑制多用户干扰。通过基于高分辨率传输(HITRAN)数据库的太赫兹信道进行大量仿真,评估了所提MU-WD-SB方案相较于传统训练型及其他半盲学习技术的性能增益,评估指标包括NMSE、比特误码率(BER)和频谱效率(SE)。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We develop a pragmatic multi-user (MU) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model tailored to the THz band, encompassing factors such as molecular absorption, reflection losses and multipath diffused ray components. Next, we propose a novel semi-blind based channel state information (CSI) acquisition technique i.e. MU whitening decorrelation semi-blind (MU-WD-SB) that exploits the second order statistics corresponding to the unknown data symbols along with pilot vectors. A constrained Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (C-CRLB) is derived to bound the normalized mean square error (NMSE) performance of the proposed semi-blind learning technique. Our proposed scheme efficiently reduces the training overheads while enhancing the overall accuracy of the channel learning process. Furthermore, a novel hybrid receiver combiner framework is devised for MU THz massive MIMO systems, leveraging multiple measurement vector based sparse Bayesian learning (MMV-SBL) that relies on the estimated CSI acquired through our proposed semi-blind technique relying on low resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Finally, we propose an optimal hybrid combiner based on MMV-SBL, which directly reduces the MU interference. Extensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance gain of the proposed MU-WD-SB scheme over conventional training-based and other semi-blind learning techniques for a practical THz channel obtained from the high-resolution transmission (HITRAN) database. The metrics considered for quantifying the improvements include the NMSE, bit error rate (BER) and spectral-efficiency (SE).
