Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is becoming mature in wireless communication systems. It has led to third and fourth generation wireless systems, which has been providing good range, reliability and higher data rates. For the increased demand of much higher data rates, coverage, spectral efficiency, capacity and reduced latency, the evolution of the next generation i.e., the fifth generation technology is necessary. Massive MIMO technology is one of the most promising solution for the above-mentioned challenge. In massive MIMO, the base station is incorporated with hundreds to thousands of antenna array wherein the degrees of freedom can be exploited and the energy can be efficiently used due to the fact that the extra antennas at the base station helps focus the energy into the smaller regions of space. To reap the benefits provided by the extra antennas, the channel information is necessary which makes it possible to have a reliable communication. Therefore, to acquire the channel knowledge, channel state information is required at the base station and estimating the channel parameters plays an important role. In this paper, we concentrate on estimating the channel parameters for conventional MIMO and massive MIMO based on training-based and blind channel estimation techniques wherein the performance of both is compared.

Performance comparison of massive MIMO and conventional MIMO using channel parameters

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) systems have recently emerged as key technology in wireless communication systems for increasing data rate and system performance. The effect of fading and interference can be combated to increase the capacity of the link. MIMO systems uses Multiple Transmit and Multiple Receive antennas which exploit the multipath propagation in rich scattering environment. The matrix channel plays a pivotal role in the throughput of a MIMO link since the modulation, data rate, power allocation and antenna weights are dependent on the channel gain. When data rate is transmitted at high bit rate, the channel impulse response can extend over many symbol periods which leads to Inter-Symbol Interference(ISI). ISI always caused an issue for signal recovery in wireless communication. In order to reduce the complexity of MIMO system, various detection algorithm such as Zero forcing(ZF), Minimum Mean Square Error(MMSE), Maximum Likelihood(ML) and a novel algorithm namely Constant Modulus Algorithm(CMA) are proposed that reduce bit error rate(BER) via spatial multiplexing. QPSK modulation is treated here for simulation purpose.Simulations are done by MatLab that shows BER vs. signal-noise ratio (SNR) curve of Constant modulus algorithm(CMA) equalizer exceeds that of ZF, MMSE and ML equalizer. In this paper antenna configuration is used.

A Novel detection algorithm for performanceanalysis of MIMO-OFDM systems usingequalizer over a Rayleigh fading channel

MIMO-OFDM is a method adopted by new highspeed communications technologies such as IEEE802.11, IEEE 802.16 and 4G. Among the advantages of MIMO-OFDM, its ability to increase the transmission rate, and its adaptation to multipath channel with fading. Unfortunately the signals modulated by the OFDM technique generate high values of Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). To solve this major drawback, several techniques have been proposed in literature. Among others, we find those that combine coding and companding. In this context we propose and study a new method based on μ-Law companding type and Polar Codes to reduce PAPR values in a MIMO-OFDM system. In order to evaluate the performances of our method in terms of PAPR and BER, several simulations are performed taking into consideration parameters related to coding and companding rates, and the number of sub carriers. The plotted curves show that the results are very significant; indeed, firstly our method achieves a gain of 8 dB in terms of PAPR by ensuring a good compromise in term of BER thanks to the use of the Polar Codes. Secondly our method operates with less complexity and outperforms the most well-known methods.

Performance Analysis of MIMO and Massive MIMO with Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami Channels

In modern world error free transmission is one of the main aims in wireless communications. As the increase in multimedia application, bulky data is being transmitted over wireless communications. Due to the effect of channel fading and the Doppler shifts caused by user mobility, a common problem in the wireless systems, additional technologies are needed to be combat multipath propagation fading and Doppler shifts. The time-variant channel estimation is one of such a crucial technique used to improve the performance of the modern wireless systems with Doppler spread and the multipath spreading. Channel estimation is usually done by estimating the time-varying channel frequency response for the OFDM symbols. . In order to reduce complexity of MIMO system, various detection algorithm such as Zero Forcing (ZF), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and LMMSE is studied that reduce Bit Error Rate (BER) by using spatial multiplexing. In time-variant channel estimations using the pilot Sequences technique is a useful channel estimation techniques in mobile wireless communication for accurately estimation of the transmitted information. The main advantage of pilot sequences is to allowing the more accurate representation of the high mobility mobile wireless channels with low complexity. The main goal is to test the most recent proposed method, time-variant estimation of the channel using pilot sequences.
