EVD-LRL based Joint Channel Estimation and Detection for Very Large MIMO Systems

This paper introduces a novel joint channel estimation and detection method for very large MIMO system. Conventionally, orthogonal pilot sequences are used to determine correct CSI(channel state information). It falls behind due to pilot contamination and spectral inefficiency in large MIMO systems. Many authors suggested promising approaches of blind and semi blind channel estimation[2][3], which work well with a trade-off for complexity. Author[1] suggested EVD-ILSP based estimation, which results in high spectral efficiency compared to conventional method, However, suffers from high complexity due to ILSP method. Here, the proposed method uses enlarged QR-LRL[5] based ordered Detection jointly with the EVD based estimated channel, which not only results in less complexity but also provides better BER performance compared to conventional EVD-ILSP method. Thus the throughput of large MIMO system is increased with reduced complexity. Simulation results demonstrate remarkable improvement in the performance of proposed method over conventional method.
