Further Information
Leveraging quantum annealing (QA) for the activity detection problem in massive wireless networks is a promising approach to address the stringent reliability and latency constraints of typical application scenarios. However, the practical implementation of QA on current D-Wave's processors requires embedding the problem. This increases the number of qubits needed for a given network size, which degrades QA performance. In this work, we propose to add a preprocessing step called the threshold method to mitigate the undesired effects of embedding. Our results show that, within limited computational time, this threshold method improves QA's accuracy in solving the activity detection problem. Thus, this is promising to effectively reduce the negative impact of embedding.
