Joint Activity-Delay Detection and Channel Estimation for Asynchronous Massive Random Access: A Free Probability Theory Approach
GLOBECOM 2023 - 2023 IEEE Global Communications Conference(2024)
摘要
Grant-free random access (RA) has been recognized as a promising solution to
support massive connectivity due to the removal of the uplink grant request
procedures. While most endeavours assume perfect synchronization among users
and the base station, this paper investigates asynchronous grant-free massive
RA, and develop efficient algorithms for joint user activity detection,
synchronization delay detection, and channel estimation. Considering the
sparsity on user activity, we formulate a sparse signal recovery problem and
propose to utilize the framework of orthogonal approximate message passing
(OAMP) to deal with the non-independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.)
Gaussian pilot matrices caused by the synchronization delays. In particular, an
OAMP-based algorithm is developed to fully harness the common sparsity among
received pilot signals from multiple base station antennas. To reduce the
computational complexity, we further propose a free probability AMP
(FPAMP)-based algorithm, which exploits the rectangular free cumulants to make
the cost-effective AMP framework compatible to general pilot matrices.
Simulation results demonstrate that the two proposed algorithms outperform
various baselines, and the FPAMP-based algorithm reduces 40
computations while maintaining comparable detection/estimation accuracy with
the OAMP-based algorithm.
