Massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) is a substantial pillar in fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems. Although the maximum likelihood (ML) detector attains the optimum performance, it has an exponential complexity. Linear detectors are one of the substitutions and they are comparatively simple to implement. Unfortunately, they sustain a considerable performance loss in high loaded systems. They also include a matrix inversion which is not hardware-friendly. In addition, if the channel matrix is singular or nearly singular, the system will be classified as an ill-conditioned and hence, the signal cannot be equalized. To defeat the inherent noise enhancement, iterative matrix inversion methods are used in the detectors' design where approximate matrix inversion is replacing the exact computation. In this paper, we study a linear detector based on iterative matrix inversion methods in realistic radio channels called QUAsi Deterministic RadIo channel GenerAtor (QuaDRiGa) package. Numerical results illustrate that the conjugate-gradient (CG) method is numerically robust and obtains the best performance with lowest number of multiplications. In the QuaDRiGA environment, iterative methods crave large n to obtain a pleasurable performance. This paper also shows that when the ratio between the user antennas and base station (BS) antennas (beta) is close to 1, iterative matrix inversion methods are not attaining a good detector's performance.

Analysis of Hybrid Spectrum Sensing for 5G and 6G Waveforms

Arun Kumar, J. Venkatesh, Nishant Gaur, Mohammed H. Alsharif, Abu Jahid, Kannadasan Raju

Summary: More spectrum bands are needed due to the increase in wireless applications. However, adapting the spectrum bands to new applications has become difficult, leading to a crowded spectrum and decreased quality of service. Cognitive radio, specifically spectrum sensing, is a promising technology to address this issue. In this study, a novel 5G spectrum sensing technique using a hybrid matched filter algorithm was implemented, and its performance was compared to traditional matched filtering in different channels. The hybrid matched filter demonstrated superior effectiveness in both Rayleigh and Rician channels.

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.
