Abstract

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a key technology for emerging next-generation wireless systems. Utilizing large antenna arrays at base-stations, massive MIMO enables substantial spatial multiplexing gains by simultaneously serving a large number of users. However, the complexity in massive MIMO signal processing (e.g., data detection) increases rapidly with the number of users, making conventional hand-engineered algorithms less computationally efficient. Lowcomplexity massive MIMO detection algorithms, especially those inspired or aided by deep learning, have emerged as a promising solution. While there exist many MIMO detection algorithms, the aim of this magazine paper is to provide insight into how to leverage deep neural networks (DNN) for massive MIMO detection. We review recent developments in DNN-based MIMO detection that incorporate the domain knowledge of established MIMO detection algorithms with the learning capability of DNNs. We then present a comparison of the key numerical performance metrics of these works. We conclude by describing future research areas and applications of DNNs in massive MIMO receivers.
