Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose two digital receive beamforming (BF) methods for low-complexity and high-accuracy uplink signal detection via Gaussian belief propagation (GaBP) at a base station (BS) comprising radio unit (RU) and distributed unit (DU) for massive multi-input multi-output. In such scenarios, it is vital to reduce the cost of the BSs by reducing the bandwidth of fronthaul (FH) links between RU and DU, and the dimensionality reduction of the received signal using receive BF at RU is a well-known strategy to reduce the amount of data transported via the FH links. We clarify appropriate criteria to design a BF weight considering the subsequent GaBP signal detection, and propose two BF methods: singular-value-decomposition-based BF and QR-decomposition-based BF with the aid of discrete-Fourier-transformation-based spreading. Both methods enable to reduce the dimension of the received signal without compromising the desired signal power by taking advantage of a null space of the channels. The BF reduces correlations between the beamformed received signals, which improves the robustness of GaBP against spatial fading correlation. Simulation results show that the proposed methods improve detection performance while reducing computation.
