As the core technology in large-scale MIMO system, the reliability of signal detection has an important impact on the whole system. Traditional linear detectors, such as the zero-forcing (ZF), often involve very complex matrix inverse calculations when the number of antennas in large-scale MIMO systems is too large. In this paper, we first introduce the traditional signal detector based on SSOR method, the iterative operation is used to replace the complex matrix inverse calculation, thus reducing the computational complexity. Then, the Gauss-Seidel method is proposed to calculate the initial iteration value, and the simulation results show that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the improved SSOR method is greatly improved.
