- Abstract
- This paper considers an uplink multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), in which K users equipped with a single-antenna communicate with one base station (BS) with Nr antennas. In this system, we present a novel multiuser MIMO detection framework inspired by coding theory. The key idea of the proposed framework is to create a code C of length 2Nr over a spatial domain. This code is constructed by an auto-encoding function that is completely described by a channel transformation followed by a quantization function of the ADCs for a fixed input constellation set. Using the proposed framework, we present a novel weighted minimum distance decoding (wMDD) that achieves the optimal detection performance by appropriately exploiting unequal channel reliabilities. In addition, we show that bit-error-rate (BER) exponentially decreases with the minimum distance of the code C, which plays a similar role with a condition number in conventional MIMO systems. Furthermore, we develop the communication method that uses the wMDD when the explicit channel state information is not available at the BS. Finally, numerical results are provided to verify the superiority of the proposed method.
