Abstract
Grant-free communication, where each user can transmit data without following the strict access grant process, is a promising technique to reduce latency and support massive users. In this thesis, compressive sensing (CS), which exploits signal sparsity to recover data from a small sample, is investigated for user activity detection (UAD), channel estimation, and signal detection in grant-free communication, in order to extract information from the signals received by base station (BS). First, CS aided UAD is investigated by utilizing the property of quasi-time-invariant channel tap delays as the prior information for the burst users in internet of things (IoT). Two UAD algorithms are proposed, which are referred to as gradient based and time-invariant channel tap delays assisted CS (g-TIDCS) and mean value based and TIDCS (m-TIDCS), respectively. In particular, g-TIDCS and m-TIDCS do not require any prior knowledge of the number of active users like the existing approaches and therefore are more practical. Second, periodic communication as one of the salient features of IoT is considered. Two schemes, namely periodic block orthogonal matching pursuit (PBOMP) and periodic block sparse Bayesian learning (PBSBL), are proposed to exploit the non-continuous temporal correlation of the received signal for joint UAD, channel estimation, and signal detection. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the PBOMP and PBSBL outperform the existing schemes in terms of the success rate of UAD, bit error rate (BER), and accuracy in period estimation and channel estimation. Third, UAD and channel estimation for grant-free communication in the presence of massive users that are actively connected to the BS is studied. An iteratively UAD and signal detection approach for the burst users is proposed, where the interference of the connected users on the burst users is reduced by applying a preconditioning matrix to the received signals at the BS. The proposed approach is capable of providing significant performance gains over the existing algorithms in terms of the success of UAD and BER. Last but not least, since the physical layer security becomes a critical issue for grant-free communication, the channel reciprocity in time-division duplex systems is utilized to design environment-aware (EA) pilots derived from transmission channels to prevent eavesdroppers from acquiring users’ channel information. The proposed EA-pilots based approach possesses a high level of security by scrambling the eavesdropper’s normalized mean square error performance of channel estimation.
