Learning based MIMO communications with imperfect channel state information for Internet of Things
Abstract
Imperfect channel state information (CSI) may seriously worsen the system performance for classical MIMO communications. In order to overcome the impacts of imperfect CSI for Internet of things, we propose a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) based MIMO detection algorithm, where the DCNN is trained offline and works online to refine the imperfect CSI and improve the bit error rate of the wireless systems. Two types of learning based detectors, i.e., with or without accurate CSI, are proposed in this paper to reduce the detrimental effects of imperfect CSI. The impacts of the important system parameters, such as normalized Doppler frequency and the correlation factor are evaluated in different setup scenarios. Simulation results suggest that, compared with the classical maximum likelihood detector, the proposed learning based detectors shows considerable gains.
