Rethinking Uplink Hybrid Processing: When is Pure Analog Processing Suggested? (1903.06888v2)

Published 16 Mar 2019 in cs.IT and math.IT

Abstract: In this correspondence, we analytically characterize the benefit of digital processing in uplink massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with sub-connected hybrid architecture. By assuming that the number of radio frequency (RF) chains is equal to that of users, we characterize achievable rates of both pure analog detection and hybrid detection under the i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channel model. From the derived expressions, we discover that the analog processing can outperform the hybrid processing using the maximal ratio combining (MRC) or zero-forcing (ZF) criterion in cases under some engineering assumptions. Performance comparison of the schemes are presented under tests with various numbers of users and numbers of antennas at the base station.
