We investigate the unsourced random access scheme assuming that the base station is equipped with multiple antennas, and propose a high-performing solution utilizing on-off-division multiple access. We assume that each user spreads its pilot sequence and polar codeword to the pilot and data parts of the transmission frame, respectively, based on a transmission pattern. The iterative receiver operation consists of pilot and pattern detection followed by channel vector and symbol estimation, polar decoding, and successive interference cancellation. Numerical findings demonstrate that the proposed scheme has superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art in various antenna settings.Index Terms-Unsourced random access, on-off division multiple access, massive MIMO.
We consider the downlink of a multiuser multipleinput multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system, where each user feeds back a partial channel state information (CSI), namely, the quantized version of the dominant eigenvector of its channel covariance matrix, to the base station (BS) for precoding. Specifically, we propose a downlink multiuser precoding scheme by first reconstructing the equivalent channel matrix of each user via a limited feedback, and then by employing a precoder to suppress the multiuser interference at the receivers. For the single stream case, a signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) based precoding is employed, while for the full stream case with limited feedback, we employ a lattice reduction aided block diagonalization type precoding with suitable modifications at the receiver side. Extensive numerical examples which are provided using the 5G new radio (5G-NR) channel models demonstrate that the proposed schemes outperform the existing eigenvector based algorithms, and they are more robust against the downlink channel estimation errors.
