Sequential likelihood ascent search detector for massive MIMO systems
Abstract
In this paper, we have analyzed the performance-complexity tradeoff of {a selective} likelihood ascent search (LAS) algorithm initialized by a linear detector, such as matched filtering (MF), zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE), {and considering an optimization factor from the bit flipping rule}. The scenario is the uplink of a massive MIMO (M-MIMO) system, and the {analysis has }been developed by means of computer simulations. With the increasing number of base station (BS) antennas, the classical detectors become inefficient. Therefore, the LAS is employed for performance-complexity tradeoff improvement. Using an adjustable optimized threshold on the bit flip rule of LAS, much better solutions have been achieved in terms of BER with no further complexity increment, indicating that there is an optimal threshold for each scenario. Considering a antennas scenario, {the large-scale MIMO system equipped with the proposed LAS detector with} factor = 0.8 {requires} 5 dB less {in terms of SNR than the conventional LAS of the} literature ( = 1.0) to achieve the same bit error rate of .
