While the past two decades have witnessed the successful application of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the next-generation wireless systems are targeting even larger antenna arrays for higher spatial-multiplexing gain and joint communication and sensing capabilities. However, many conventional solutions lack efficiency when handling large-scale problems. In this talk we will consider large scale optimization problems arising in multi-antenna signal processing and propose low-complexity solutions for adaptive beamforming and super-resolution sparse reconstruction using fast-converging iterative methods. In addition to reducing algorithmic complexity, the proposed approaches use distributed processing techniques to overcome massive data sharing problem in digital array architectures.
