The current multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are still mainly implemented based on the centralized architecture, which thus has to process a huge amount of base-band data. In particular, the central processing unit (CPU) needs a large bus bandwidth to accommodate the prohibitive baseband data transmission, which hinders effective system implementation, especially for the massive MIMO systems. Moreover, the centralized scheme lacks flexibility and scalability when facing varying sizes of antenna arrays and diverse applications. This paper proposes an efficient decentralized bidirectional-chain (DBC) equalizer architecture. The advantages of the DBC architecture are two-fold. First, it can reduce the data traffic transmitted from the antennas to the processing unit by categorizing them into clusters, each of which is equipped with a local processing unit (LPU). Second, it can reduce the time delay by updating all clusters in parallel. To sufficiently exploit the proposed DBC architecture, we further propose efficient parallel iterative algorithms. The DBC-based parallelizable iterative algorithms achieve the state-of-the-art performance in terms of convergence rate and bit error rate. Finally, simulation results are provided to confirm the effectiveness and superiority of our proposal.
