  Algorithms for Massive MIMO uplink detection and downlink precoding typically
rely on a centralized approach, by which baseband data from all antenna modules
are routed to a central node in order to be processed. In the case of Massive
MIMO, where hundreds or thousands of antennas are expected in the base-station,
said routing becomes a bottleneck since interconnection throughput is limited.
This paper presents a fully decentralized architecture and an algorithm for
Massive MIMO uplink detection and downlink precoding based on the Stochastic
Gradient Descent (SGD) method, which does not require a central node for these
tasks. Through a recursive approach and very low complexity operations, the
proposed algorithm provides a good trade-off between performance,
interconnection throughput and latency. Further, our proposed solution achieves
significantly lower interconnection data-rate than other architectures,
enabling future scalability.
