Abstract
It is challenging to realize ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) under severe shadow fading and imperfect channel state information (CSI). However, reliability can be increased by exploiting space diversity from multiple receive antennas rather than retransmission with limited latency. Massive multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is studied to enable URLLC with imperfect CSI from least-square channel estimation. The linear minimum error probability (MEP) detector with a given length of pilots (LoP) is derived. Further, the LoP is optimized to minimize the error probability of the uplink with a limited number of channel uses, using the finite blocklength information theory and one-dimensional search methods. Numerical results verify that the proposed linear MEP detection incorporated in massive MU-MIMO improves reliability with limited latency and imperfect CSI.
