Research Abstract
Low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have been considered as a practical and promising solution for reducing cost and power consumption in massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. Unfortunately, low-resolution ADCs significantly distort the received signals, and thus make data detection much more challenging. We develop a new deep neural network (DNN) framework for efficient and low-complexity data detection in low-resolution massive MIMO systems. Based on a reformulated maximum likelihood detection problem, we propose a model-driven DNN-based detector, namely FBMNet, for few-bit massive MIMO systems. The proposed FBMNet detector has a unique and simple structure designed for low-resolution MIMO receivers and thus can be efficiently trained and implemented. Numerical results also show that FBMNet significantly outperforms existing detection methods.
