摘要
For the emerging 5G millimeter-wave communications, the nonlinearity is inevitable due to RF power amplifiers of the enormous bandwidth operating in extremely high frequency, which, in collusion with frequency-selective propagations, may pose great challenges to signal detections. In contrast to classical schemes, which calibrate nonlinear distortions in transmitters, we suggest a nonlinear equalization algorithm, with which the multipath channel and unknown symbols contaminated by nonlinear distortions and multipath interferences are estimated in receiver-ends. Attributed to the nonlinearity and marginal integration, the involved posterior density is analytically intractable and, unfortunately, most existing linear equalization schemes may become invalid. To solve this problem, the Monte-Carlo sequential importance sampling based particle filtering is suggested, and the non-analytical distribution is approximated numerically by a group of random measures with the evolving probability-mass. By applying the Taylor's series expansion technique, a local-linearization observation model is further constructed to facilitate the practical design of a sequential detector. Thus, the unknown symbols are detected recursively as new observations arrive. Simulation results validate the proposed joint detection scheme. By excluding transmitting pre-distortion of high complexity, the presented algorithm is specially designed for the receiver-end, which provides a promising framework to nonlinear equalization and signal detection in millimeter-wave communications.
