Frequently Asked Questions (11)
Q2. What is the importance of the equivalent representation in (13)?
The importance of the equivalent representation in (13) is that the scaling factor E[Ak[i]]xk[i] of the desired information symbol is a constant, which is known at the BS since the BS has knowledge of the channel statistics.
Q3. What is the way to prove the MRC is suboptimal?
In the high-SNR regime, MRC is known to be suboptimal since intersymbol interference and multi-user interference dominate the effective noise term.
Q4. Why is phase noise a fundamental problem in a communication system?
due to the progressive phase noise drift in the oscillators, there is a fundamental trade-off between the length of the time interval used for data transmission and the sum-rate performance.
Q5. How many BS antennas are required to achieve a fixed per-user information rate?
4: Minimum required PD σ2 to achieve a fixed per-user information rate of r = 2 bpcu as a function of M for fixed K = 10 users, σφ = σθ = 0.49o and ND = 1000.
Q6. What is the main argument for the proposed receive processing?
the proposed receive processing achieves an O( √ M) array power gain, extending earlier results where phase noise was not considered.
Q7. What is the k-th user's effective information rate?
1) Achievable Sum-Rate: Since no data transmission happens during the training phase, the overall effective information rate achievable by the k-th user is given by,R×k ∆ =1Nc∑i∈IdR×k [i].
Q8. How many BS antennas can reduce the required PD2?
The authors observe that by doubling the number of BS antennas the authors can reduce the per-user required PDσ2 by 1.5dB, forsufficiently large M .
Q9. What is the way to achieve a sum-rate performance?
for a desired sum-rate performance one can choose between a high quality single oscillator or many oscillators of lower quality.
Q10. What is the PDP of the channel between the k-th user and the m?
The parameters dk,l ≥ 0, l = 0, . . . , L − 1 model the power delay profile (PDP) of the frequency-selective channel for the k-th user.
Q11. What is the difference between the ND and the sum-rate performance?
Since a fixed time interval of KL channel uses is required for channel estimation, a small data interval, ND, leads to underutilization of the available resources, yielding a low sum-rate performance.
