Abstract
Formulation of the problem. The cubic computational complexity associated with channel correlation matrix inversion in linear Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizers constitutes a critical barrier to the implementation of energy-efficient receivers in Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding MIMO systems. This issue is particularly acute given the stringent hardware constraints inherent in the Internet of Things and 5G/6G networks.
Objective. The synthesis of computationally efficient hybrid detection architectures that integrate iterative numerical methods with proactive control based on Deep Neural Networks, aiming to minimize floating-point operations without degrading noise immunity.
Results. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms reduce asymptotic complexity to a near-quadratic level while maintaining Bit Error Rate performance comparable to that of the exact MMSE detector. The scalability of the approach for large-scale antenna arrays is also established.
Practical significance. The proposed hybrid algorithms are tailored for hardware implementation in Massive MIMO systems, specifically for Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication scenarios. By mitigating the computational burden, they enable the deployment of less powerful, energy-efficient processors in IoT terminals and base stations for real-time signal processing.
