The use of low-resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) is a practical solution for reducing cost and power consumption for massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. However, the severe nonlinearity of low-resolution ADCs causes significant distortions in the received signals and makes the channel estimation and data detection tasks much more challenging. In this talk, we show how Support Vector Machine (SVM), a well-known supervised learning technique in machine learning can be exploited to provide efficient and robust channel estimation and data detection in massive MIMO systems with one-bit ADCs. First, we propose SVM-based channel estimation methods for both uncorrelated and spatially correlated channels. Next, a two-stage detection algorithm is proposed where SVM is further exploited in the first stage. We also propose an SVM-based Joint Channel Estimation and Data Detection (CE-DD) method and an extension to OFDM systems with frequency-selective fading channels. Simulation results show that the proposed methods are efficient, robust, and also outperform existing ones.
