Abstract

This paper presents a modified MMSE channel estimation for turbo equalization in uplink massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with pilot contamination. Unlike other work on channel estimation in massive MIMO systems where perfect knowledge of inter-cell large scale channel coefficients is assumed, a modified method for data-aided MMSE estimation is proposed without requiring the knowledge of intra-cell large scale channel coefficients. Simulation results show that the proposed channel method outperforms the existing pilot-based channel estimators and has little performance loss compared to the existing data-aided estimator requiring the perfect knowledge of inter-cell large scale fading.
