Deep MIMO Detection

We give a brief introduction to deep learning and propose a modern neural network architecture suitable for this detection task. First, we consider the case in which the MIMO channel is constant, and we learn a detector for a specific system. Next, we consider the harder case in which the parameters are known yet changing and a single detector must be learned for all multiple varying channels. We demonstrate the performance of our deep MIMO detector using numerical simulations in comparison to competing methods including approximate message passing and semidefinite relaxation. The results show that deep networks can achieve state of the art accuracy with significantly lower complexity while providing robustness against ill conditioned channels and mis-specified noise variance.
