Linear group precoding for massive MIMO systems under exponential spatial correlation

In this paper, a low-complexity linear group precoding algorithm in the exponential

correlation channel model is proposed for massive MIMO systems. The proposed precoder

consists of two components: The first one minimizes the interferences among neighboring

user groups; The second one improves the system performance by utilizing the ELR-SLB

technique. Numerical and simulation results show that the proposed precoder has

remarkably lower computational complexity than its LC-RBD-LR-ZF counterpart, while its

bit error rate (BER) performance is asymptotic to that of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF precoder as

the number of groups increases.

Linear group precoding for massive MIMO systems under exponential spatial correlation
 this sub-section, we evaluate the computational complexity of the proposed 
algorithm and compare it with that of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF algorithm in [16]. The 
complexities are evaluated by counting the necessary floating point operations (flops). 
We assume that each real operation (such as an addition, a multiplication or a division) 
is counted as a flop. Hence, a complex multiplication and a division require 6 flops and 
11 flops, respectively. It is worth noting that the QR decomposition of an m n 
complex matrix requires 6mn2 4 mn n 2 n flops. Based on the above assumptions, the 
computational complexities of the proposed algorithms ZF-GP-LR is given by: 
 F Fa F b F c ( flops ). (26)

where Fa and Fb are the number of flops needed to calculate WGP and WGP , respectively; 
 a a
Fc is the total complexity of the multiplication two matrices WGP and WGP . 
 In the proposed algorithm, to find the precoding matrix Wa for the first user

group, we have to perform the QR decomposition to the correlation channel matrix

 FNNNNNNNN 6(  )(  )2 4(  )(  ) (  ) 2

 The QR operation must be carried out L times. Hence, the total number of flops to

 The number of flops to calculated WGP is represented as follows:

 In this paper, we apply the ELR-SLB algorithm to convert the channel matrix

where F and F are the number of flops to calculate CHH TT  and

update operation, which can only be obtained from the computer simulation. Note that 
every update operation in the ELR-SLB algorithm requires (16γ + 8) flops. The 
computations of ik and i, k in Step 5 and Step 6 in Algorithm 1 need 4 flops and 10 
flops, respectively. Therefore, Fupdate SLB is calculated as follows: 
 Fupdate SLB CUpdate (168) CLamda 4 CDelta 10 ( flops ). (32) 
where CLamda is the number of updates ik , CDelta is the number of updates i, k ,

CUpdate is the number of updates tk , ck and c from Step 8 to Step 10 in Algorithm 1.

 The complexities of the precoding algorithms ZF-GP-LR and LC-RBD-LR-ZF are 
summarized in Tab. 1. From Tab. 1, we can see that the computational complexity of the 
ZF-GP-LR proposed algorithm is a third-order function of NT . In contrast, the 
computational complexity of algorithm LC-RBD-LR-ZF is a fourth-order function of NT . 
5. Simulation results 
 In this section, we compare both the computational complexity and the system 
performance of the proposed algorithm with those of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF algorithm in [16]. 
 Figure 4 demonstrates the computational complexities of the ZF-GP-LR and LC-
RBD-LR-ZF precoders. In this scenario, NT is varied from 40 to 100 transmit antennas. 
It can be seen from the figure that the complexities of the ZF-GP-LR precoder are 
significantly lower than those of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF. For example, at NNRT 60 
antennas, the complexities of the ZF-GP-LR algorithm with L = 2; 4 and L = 10 are 
approximately equal to 3.04%, 5.52% and 15.21% of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF precoder’s 
complexity, respectively. The computational complexity of the proposed algorithm 
increases as the number of groups L increases. However, the reduction in complexity is 
obtained at the cost of performance degradation as illustrated in the figures 5, 6 and 7. 
 BER performances of the proposed algorithms ZF-GP-LR and the LC-RBD-LR-
ZF precoders are illustrated in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7. In Fig. 5, the system is assumed to work 
in an uncorrelated massive MIMO channel with the following parameters: 
NNRT 60 , and 4-QAM modulation. The channels between the BS and all users are 
assumed to be semi-static Rayleigh Fading channel, the entries are i.i.d with zero mean 
and unit variance. The numbers of user groups for the ZF-GP-LR precoder are L = 4; 6 
 67
Journal of Science and Technique - N.205 (3-2020) - Le Quy Don Technical University 
and 10. As can be seen from Fig. 5, in the low and medium SNR regions, the BER 
curves of the proposed ZF-GP-LR precoder get closer to the LC-RBD-LR-ZF precoder 
as L increases. Specifically, at BER = 10 3 , the proposed algorithm suffers from 
performance degradations of around 0.6 dB, 0.7 dB and 0.9 dB in SNR respectively for 
L = 10; 6 and 4 as compared to the LC-RBD-LR-ZF. However, at sufficiently high 
SNRs, the proposed algorithm provides better system performance than the LC-RBD-
LR-ZF algorithm. 
 In Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, we simulate the system performance in the case exponential 
 1/2
correlation channel at the BS side (i.e., HHRcorr  T ) with the correlation coefficient 
r = 0.5 and r = 0.7. Other parameters are the same as those used to generate Fig. 5. 
Similar to the results in Fig. 5, the results in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show that, at low SNR, the 
performance of the proposed ZF-GP-LR precoder approaches that of the LC-RBD-LR-
ZF algorithm when L increases. Besides, at high SNR, the proposed algorithm 
outperforms its LC-RBD-LR-ZF counterpart. From Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, it can also be 
observed that the spatial correlation has an adverse effect on the system performance no 
matter which precoder is employed.

 It is worth emphasizing that as the number of antennas at the user side is greater 
 1/2 1/2
than 1, i.e., Nu 1, the correlation channel matrix becomes HRHRcorr R T . In such a

case, performances of all the precoders under consideration are further degraded. 
However, the behaviors of the BER curves are still the same as those illustrated in Fig. 5 
to Fig. 7. To balance between the computational complexity and system performance, L 
should be selected by NNR/ 2 u when K is an even number. Conversely, K is an odd 
number, L should be selected by the adjacent divisor to the greatest divisor of K.

6. Conclusions 
 In this paper, we propose the ZF-GP-LR precoder which is a ZF-based group 
precoding algorithm in combination with the low-complexity ELR-SLB technique to 
improve the BER performance of massive MIMO systems. Performance and complexity 
of the proposed precoder are then investigated in massive MIMO systems using the 
exponential correlation channel model at the BS side. It is shown that the 
ZF-GP-LR precoder has remarkably lower complexity than its LC-RBDLR-ZF 
counterpart. In addition, the BER performance of the proposed ZF-GP-LR approaches 
those of the LC-RBD-LR-ZF algorithm when L increases in the low and medium SNR 
regions. The proposed precoder even outperforms the LC-RBD-LR-ZF in the high SNR 
region in both correlated and uncorrelated channels. As a consequence, the proposed 
ZF-GP-LR precoder can be a potential digital beamforming technique at the base 
stations of massive MIMO systems.
