Abstract
In a <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${K}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -best detector for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the value of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${K}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> needs to be sufficiently large to achieve near-maximum-likelihood (ML) performance. By treating <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${K}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> as a variable that can be adjusted according to a fitting function of some learnable coefficients, an intelligent MIMO detection network based on deep neural networks (DNN) is proposed to reduce complexity of the detection algorithm with little performance degradation. In particular, the proposed intelligent detection algorithm uses meta learning to learn the coefficients of the fitting function for <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${K}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> to circumvent the problem of learning <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${K}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> directly. The idea of network fusion is used to combine the learning results of the meta learning component networks. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves near-ML detection performance while its complexity is close to that of linear detectors. Besides, it also exhibits strong ability of fast training.
