Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a novel joint channel and data estimation (JCDE) scheme for correlated large multi-user multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with short non-orthogonal pilots. A Bayesian JCDE via scalar-wise tensor products, such as bilinear Gaussian belief propagation (BiGaBP), is able to achieve low computation cost, but its convergence property is severely degraded in the presence of spatial fading correlation. To overcome the vulnerability against this correlation, the JCDEs based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion have been proposed, but it still fails to detect MIMO signals reliably when using the non-orthogonal pilots aiming at overhead reduction. To resolve this issue, the proposed method calculates the conditional expectation of channel coefficients via a maximum a-posteriori (MAP)-like approach with the aid of the knowledge of long-term channel statistics. While the data detection is performed via probabilistic data association (PDA) to suppress the observation correlation, the channel estimation is performed via GaBP by leveraging the pseudo-orthogonality of the pilot-plus-data sequences, which makes it possible to realize low-complexity and high-accuracy JCDE. Computer simulation demonstrates the validity of our proposed method in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance.
