MIMO Signal Multiplexing and Detection Based on Compressive Sensing and Deep Learning

Abstract

We propose a novel signal multiplexing and detection method for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, especially when the number of transmitting and receiving antennas is limited. Inspired by the idea of Compressive Sensing (CS) which can recover a given signal vector from a vector of measurements with less dimensions, our proposed CS-based multiplexing scheme can deliver a modulated data vector with length l via a MIMO system with fewer transmitting/receiving antennas than l , offering higher multiplexing gain. On the receiving side, our proposed detection scheme has two steps, which resort the BCS algorithm and a Deep-Learning algorithm to recover the original modulated data vector. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed multiplexing and detection method can achieve larger multiplexing gain while reserving good bit error rate (BER), offering a novel research paradigm to improve the utility rate of multiple antennas.
