Title: Joint CFO and channel estimation in millimeter wave systems with one-bit ADCs
We develop a method to jointly estimate the carrier frequency offset (CFO) and the narrowband channel in millimeter wave (mmWave) MIMO systems operating with one-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). We assume perfect timing synchronization and transform the underlying CFO-channel optimization problem to a higher dimensional space using lifting techniques. Exploiting the sparse nature of mmWave MIMO channels in the angle domain, we perform the joint estimation by solving a noisy quantized compressed sensing problem of the lifted version, using generalized approximate message passing. Simulation results show that our method is able to recover both the channel and the CFO using one-bit measurements.  more » « less

    Initial access at millimeter wave frequencies is a challenging problem due to hardware non-idealities and low SNR measurements prior to beamforming. Prior work has exploited the observation that mmWave MIMO channels are sparse in the spatial angle domain and has used compressed sensing based algorithms for channel estimation. Most of them, however, ignore hardware impairments like carrier frequency offset and phase noise, and fail to perform well when such impairments are considered. In this paper, we develop a compressive channel estimation algorithm for narrowband mmWave systems, which is robust to such non idealities. We address this problem by constructing a tensor that models both the mmWave channel and CFO, and estimate the tensor while still exploiting the sparsity of the mmWave channel. Simulation results show that under the same settings, our method performs better than comparable algorithms that are robust to phase errors.

    Multi-user massive MIMO signal detection from one-bit received measurements strongly depends on the wireless channel. To this end, majority of the model and learning-based approaches address detector design for the rich-scattering, homogeneous Rayleigh fading channel. Our work proposes detection for one-bit massive MIMO for the lower diversity mmWave channel. We analyze the limitations of the current state-of-the-art gradient descent (GD)-based joint multiuser detection of one-bit received signals for the mmWave channels. Addressing these, we introduce a new framework to ensure equitable per-user performance, in spite of joint multi-user detection. This is realized by means of: (i) a parametric deep learning system, i.e., the mmW-ROBNet, (ii) a constellation-aware loss function, and (iii) a hierarchical detection training strategy. The experimental results corroborate this proposed approach for equitable per-user detection.

    We propose sparsity-adaptive beamspace channel estimation algorithms that improve accuracy for 1-bit data converters in all-digital millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) basestations. Our algorithms include a tuning stage based on Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) that automatically selects optimal denoising parameters depending on the instantaneous channel conditions. Simulation results with line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS mmWave massive MIMO channel models show that our algorithms improve channel estimation accuracy with 1-bit measurements in a computationally-efficient manner.

    The large spectrum available in the millimeter- Wave (mmWave) band has emerged as a promising solution for meeting the huge capacity requirements of the 5th generation (5G) wireless networks. However, to fully harness the potential of mmWave communications, obstacles such as severe path loss, channel sparsity and hardware complexity should be overcome. In this paper, we introduce a generalized reconfigurable antenna multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architecture that takes advantage of lens-based reconfigurable antennas. The considered antennas can support multiple radiation patterns simultaneously by using a single RF chain. The degrees of freedom provided by the reconfigurable antennas are used to, first, combat channel sparsity in MIMO mmWave systems. Further, to suppress high path loss and shadowing at mmWave frequencies, we use a rate- one space-time block code. Our analysis and simulations show that the proposed reconfigurable MIMO architecture achieves full-diversity gain by using linear receivers and without requiring channel state information at the transmitter. Moreover, simulations show that the proposed architecture outperforms traditional MIMO transmission schemes in mmWave channel settings.
