Abstract

In massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) uplink, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) algorithm is near-optimal and linear, but still suffers from high-complexity of matrix inversion. Based on Gauss-Seidel (GS) method, an efficient architecture for massive MIMO soft-output detection is proposed in this paper. To further accelerate the convergence rate of the conventional GS method with acceptable overhead complexity, a truncated Neumann series of the first 2 terms, is employed for initialization. The architecture can meet various application requirements by flexibly adjusting the number of iterations. FPGA implementation for a 128 × 8 MIMO demonstrates its advantages in both hardware efficiency and flexibility.
