Low-Complexity BFGS-Based Soft-Output MMSE Detector for Massive MIMO Uplink

For the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) uplink, the linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector is near-optimal but involves undesirable matrix inversion. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity soft-output detector based on the simplified Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno metho...

description For the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) uplink, the linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector is near-optimal but involves undesirable matrix inversion. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity soft-output detector based on the simplified Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno method to realize the matrix-inversion-free MMSE detection iteratively. To accelerate convergence with minimal computational overhead, an appropriate initial solution is presented leveraging the channel-hardening property of massive MIMO. Moreover, we employ a low-complexity approximated approach to calculating the log-likelihood ratios with negligible performance losses. Simulation results finally verify that the proposed detector can achieve the near-MMSE performance with a few iterations and outperforms the recently reported linear detectors in terms of lower complexity and faster convergence for the realistic massive MIMO systems.
