Design of Energy Modulation Massive SIMO Transceivers via Machine Learning

This paper considers a massive single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system, where multiple single-antenna transmitters simultaneously communicate with a receiver equipped with a large number of antennas. Different from the conventional noncoherent transceivers which require a certain level of the statistical information on the channel fading, we propose a joint transceiver design method based on machine learning, requiring a limited number of channel realizations. In the proposed method, the multiple transmitters, the channel, and the receiver are represented with a deep neural network (NN), and an autoencoder is adopted to minimize the end-to-end transmission error probability. Simulation results show that the proposed NN-based transceiver achieves lower transmission error probability in typical scenarios, and is more robust against the channel parameters variation compared with the existing methods.
