Abstract

For the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) uplink employing high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signaling and with nonlinear high power amplifiers (HPAs) at mobile users’ transmitters, the existing multiuser detection methods can no longer be applied. We propose a novel nonlinear multiuser detection scheme for the nonlinear MIMO uplink. Specifically, we adopt an effective B-spline parameterization of the nonlinear transmit HPAs and derive an efficient and accurate algorithm to identify the nonlinear MIMO uplink channel, including the nonlinear B-spline model of the nonlinear transmit HPAs and the estimate of the linear MIMO channel matrix. Moreover, as the direct result of this nonlinear MIMO channel identification, the B-spline inverse model of nonlinear transmit HPAs can readily be identified. The nonlinear multiuser detection can be effectively implemented by the zeroforcing linear detection based on the estimated linear MIMO channel and followed by compensating the nonlinear distortion of the nonlinear transmit HPAs based on the estimated B-spline inverse model. An extensive simulation investigation is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed nonlinear multiuser detection scheme for nonlinear MIMO uplink with high-order QAM signaling.
