TLDR
A cellular base station serves a multiplicity of single-antenna terminals over the same time-frequency interval and a complete multi-cellular analysis yields a number of mathematically exact conclusions and points to a desirable direction towards which cellular wireless could evolve.
Abstract
A cellular base station serves a multiplicity of single-antenna terminals over the same time-frequency interval. Time-division duplex operation combined with reverse-link pilots enables the base station to estimate the reciprocal forward- and reverse-link channels. The conjugate-transpose of the channel estimates are used as a linear precoder and combiner respectively on the forward and reverse links. Propagation, unknown to both terminals and base station, comprises fast fading, log-normal shadow fading, and geometric attenuation. In the limit of an infinite number of antennas a complete multi-cellular analysis, which accounts for inter-cellular interference and the overhead and errors associated with channel-state information, yields a number of mathematically exact conclusions and points to a desirable direction towards which cellular wireless could evolve. In particular the effects of uncorrelated noise and fast fading vanish, throughput and the number of terminals are independent of the size of the cells, spectral efficiency is independent of bandwidth, and the required transmitted energy per bit vanishes. The only remaining impairment is inter-cellular interference caused by re-use of the pilot sequences in other cells (pilot contamination) which does not vanish with unlimited number of antennas.

Achievable Rates of FDD Massive MIMO Systems With Spatial Channel Correlation

TL;DR: The optimal channel training sequences and a Karhunen-Loeve transform followed by entropy coded scalar quantization codebook are proposed to optimize the achievable rates, which achieves dimensionality-reduction channel estimation without channel pre-projection, and higher throughput in general, though at higher computational complexity.

TL;DR: Results show that the UC approach, which requires smaller backhaul overhead and is more scalable that the CF deployment, also achieves generally better performance than the CF approach for the vast majority of the users, especially on the uplink.

Low-Complexity Soft-Output Signal Detection Based on Gauss–Seidel Method for Uplink Multiuser Large-Scale MIMO Systems

TL;DR: This paper proposes to exploit the Gauss-Seidel method to iteratively realize the MMSE algorithm without the complicated matrix inversion, and proposes a diagonal-approximate initial solution to the GS method, which is much closer to the final solution than the traditional zero-vector initial solution.
