Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed a novel differentially-encoded non-coherent open-loop massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which has the merit of a single radio frequency (RF) transmitter structure. More specifically, the proposed system is capable of attaining a high transmission rate, while attaining a low decoding complexity at the receiver. Furthermore, the receiver does not have to estimate channel state information, owing to the explicit benefit of non-coherent detection. Moreover, we extend the proposed MIMO systems to that of virtual MIMO arrangements, supporting multiple distributed nodes.
