The conventional millimeter wave systems are mostly designed to operate only for the Gaussian noise model. Although this model simplifies the noise removal problem, recent research findings state that a mixture noise model with additive impulsive noise is a more realistic approximation for millimeter wave channels. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to eliminate the impulsive noise effects on single-user millimeter wave massive multiple-input-multiple-output system using an adaptive fuzzy logic filter. Hence, a fuzzy median filter is applied to the system and it is aimed to minimize the effects of the impulsive noise by ordering samples based on fuzzy rank. Simulation results show that the proposed filter successfully eliminates the impulsive noise effects and achieves a better bit error rate and spectral efficiency performance than the competing methods in the literature while also working efficiently in Gaussian noise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
