Abstract

A non-coherent detection assisted Differential Phase Shift Keying aided large-scale MIMO system is designed in a wireless uplink where multiple single-antenna users are transmitting to the base station's receiver equipped with a very large number of receive antennas. We show that the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) scales with the number of receive antennas, which confirms the same scaling law found in coherent systems. We propose a range of constellation designs that allow us to separate the users' signals at the receiver by relying only on the knowledge of the average received power per user. We analyse the error probability and provide insights into the beneficial selection of the constellation parameters. Finally, we provide some numerical results showing that our proposals require a lower number of receive antennas to achieve a given error probability than other non-coherent benchmark schemes available in the literature, while they are not far from an equivalent coherent system relying on realistic channel estimation settings.
