Fifth-generation (5G) communications system is commercially introduced by several mobile operators where sub-6 GHz bands are the backbone of the 5G networks. A large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), or massive MIMO (mMIMO), technology has a major impact to secure high data rate, high spectral efficiency, and quality of service (QoS). It could also have a major role in the beyond-5G systems. A massive number of antennas seek advanced signal processing to detect and equalize the signal. However, optimal detectors, such as the maximum likelihood (ML) and maximum posterior (MAP), are not desirable in implementation due to extremely high complexity. Therefore, sub-optimum solutions have been introduced to obtain and guarantee enough balance between the performance and the computational complexity. In this paper, a robust and joint low complexity detection algorithm is proposed based on the Jacobi (JA) and Gauss-Seidel (GS) methods. In such iterative methods, the performance, complexity, and convergence rate are highly dependent on the initial vector. In this paper, initial solution is proposed by exploiting the benefits of a stair matrix to obtain a fast convergence rate, high performance, and low complexity. Numerical results show that proposed algorithm achieves high accuracy and relieve the computational complexity even when the BS-to-user-antenna ratio (BUAR) is small.

Channel Estimation for Full-Duplex Multi-Antenna Ambient Backscatter Communication Systems

Saeed Abdallah, Zeno Verboven, Mohamed Saad, Mahmoud A. Albreem

Summary: Ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) is a promising technology for low-cost, low-power devices in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. This paper addresses the challenging channel estimation problem for full-duplex multi-antenna AmBC systems. Three solutions are proposed, including a pilot-based maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, a semi-blind estimator based on the expectation maximization (EM) framework, and a semi-blind estimator based on the decision-directed (DD) strategy. Simulations demonstrate the accuracy and performance superiority of the semi-blind estimators compared to the ML estimator.
