Abstract
:1. Introduction
- We investigate the implementation of LR-SIC detectors and their improvements for massive MIMO systems with low-resolution ADCs;
- We analyze the transmission power required for achieving a target BER, the power required for signal detection, and also the power consumption due to the ADCs given the system configuration;
- We analyze and compare the EE for several different MIMO detectors under a universal system-level power consumption model, and discuss the influence of the number of antennas, the ADC resolution and also the signal processing algorithms on the performance.
