Capacity Analysis and Data Detection of OvTDM-MIMO System

It is well known that the channel capacity of traditional MIMO systems is positively correlated with the number of antennas, so MIMO systems usually use more antennas to meet higher system capacity requirements, which is increasingly conflicting with the miniaturization requirements of portable devices. To overcome the above problems, a new OvTDM-MIMO system is proposed, which can effectively improve the capacity of the system. This system introduces the overlapped time division multiplexing (OvTDM) technology into the MIMO system, which can further improve the channel capacity of the MIMO system by using a smaller number of antennas. This paper introduces the transceiver model of the OvTDM-MIMO system in detail and derives the channel capacity of the system based on mutual information theory. Compared with a conventional MIMO system, the OvTDM-MIMO system has the ability to improve channel capacity. Then, this paper proposes an OvTDM-MIMO symbol detection scheme based on an improved low-complexity Orthogonal Approximate Message Passing (OAMP) algorithm to solve the symbol detection problem caused by symbol correlation. The main design idea of this scheme is to use symbol correlation as the detection constraint and realizes joint symbol detection by combining adjacent symbols, avoiding the problem of excessive matrix size caused by Kronecker product operation. The simulation results show that the proposed detection algorithm can achieve similar performance to traditional MIMO system detection algorithms with low computational complexity.
