Princeton Researchers Boost 5G Throughput with MMGaP

Princeton University researchers Abhishek Kumar Singh and Kyle Jamieson have developed MMGaP, a groundbreaking approach to multi-user MIMO detection and precoding for next-generation cellular networks. This novel method operates at line-rate, meeting the stringent timing demands of modern 5G systems.

MMGaP significantly improves throughput compared to conventional linear MIMO detectors. It boosts both uplink and downlink throughput by up to 100 Mbps per user in typical cellular scenarios. This is achieved by efficiently decomposing data and operating in parallel across multiple GPUs. The method is the first to implement complex MIMO algorithms on commodity GPUs, offering improved performance in real-world 5G networks.

MMGaP operates at line-rate, with execution times scaling inversely with the number of GPUs. It solves combinatorial optimization problems using Coherent Ising Machines (CIMs) and careful selection of integration parameters. This makes it a significant advance in multi-user MIMO detection for next-generation cellular networks, which require sophisticated signal processing to maximize spectral efficiency.

MMGaP, developed by Abhishek Kumar Singh and Kyle Jamieson, offers substantial throughput improvements for next-generation cellular networks. While it incurs an approximate 20% increase in expenditure with 30 NVIDIA A100 GPUs, it achieves practical 5G MIMO throughput gains of approximately 50 Mbps per user. This innovative approach demonstrates great potential for wider adoption in real-world 5G networks.
