ABSTRACT

In 5G, Massive MIMO has been regarded as an emerging solution to enhance air interface and improve spectrum efficiency. On the other hand, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence applied in our life, Intelligent communication is one of the most attractive directions in wireless communication in the future. Currently the combination of massive MIMO and artificial intelligence is still in preliminary stage. This paper discusses the latest research progress of AI-aided method in massive MIMO including channel estimation, signal detection, hybrid beamforming and end-to-end wireless communication system. Specially, CE-NET and OAMP-NET based on model-driven method is analysed detailly. On this basis, the development trend of AI-aided communication is forecasted in the future, where model-driven aided wireless communication technology will be more competitive after 5G.
