Multi-Cell Massive MIMO in LoS
We consider a multi-cell Massive MIMO system in a line-of-sight (LoS)
propagation environment, for which each user is served by one base station,
with no cooperation among the base stations. Each base station knows the
channel between its service antennas and its users, and uses these channels for
precoding and decoding. Under these assumptions we derive explicit downlink and
uplink effective SINR formulas for maximum-ratio (MR) processing and
zero-forcing (ZF) processing. We also derive formulas for power control to meet
pre-determined SINR targets. A numerical example demonstrating the usage of the
derived formulas is provided.Comment: IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) 201
Interference in Multi-beam Antenna System of 5G Network
Massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and beamforming are key technologies, which significantly influence on increasing effectiveness of emerging fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems, especially mobile-cellular networks. In this case, the increasing effectiveness is understood mainly as the growth of network capacity resulting from better diversification of radio resources due to their spatial multiplexing in macro- and micro-cells. However, using the narrow beams in lieu of the hitherto used cell-sector brings occurring interference between the neighboring beams in the massive-MIMO antenna system, especially, when they utilize the same frequency channel. An analysis of this effect is the aim of this paper. In this case, it is based on simulation studies, where a multi-elliptical propagation model and standard 3GPP model are used. We present the impact of direction and width of the neighboring beams of 5G new radio gNodeB base station equipped with the multi-beam antenna system on the interference level between these beams. The simulations are carried out for line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS conditions of a typical urban environment
Spectral Efficiency Analysis of Multi-Cell Massive MIMO Systems with Ricean Fading
This paper investigates the spectral efficiency of multi-cell massive
multiple-input multiple-output systems with Ricean fading that utilize the
linear maximal-ratio combining detector. We firstly present closed-form
expressions for the effective signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR)
with the least squares and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation
methods, respectively, which apply for any number of base-station antennas
and any Ricean -factor. Also, the obtained results can be particularized in
Rayleigh fading conditions when the Ricean -factor is equal to zero. In the
following, novel exact asymptotic expressions of the effective SINR are derived
in the high and high Ricean -factor regimes. The corresponding analysis
shows that pilot contamination is removed by the MMSE estimator when we
consider both infinite and infinite Ricean -factor, while the pilot
contamination phenomenon persists for the rest of cases. All the theoretical
results are verified via Monte-Carlo simulations.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, the tenth International Conference on Wireless

MmWave Massive MIMO Based Wireless Backhaul for 5G Ultra-Dense Network
Ultra-dense network (UDN) has been considered as a promising candidate for
future 5G network to meet the explosive data demand. To realize UDN, a
reliable, Gigahertz bandwidth, and cost-effective backhaul connecting
ultra-dense small-cell base stations (BSs) and macro-cell BS is prerequisite.
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) can provide the potential Gbps traffic for wireless
backhaul. Moreover, mmWave can be easily integrated with massive MIMO for the
improved link reliability. In this article, we discuss the feasibility of
mmWave massive MIMO based wireless backhaul for 5G UDN, and the benefits and
challenges are also addressed. Especially, we propose a digitally-controlled
phase-shifter network (DPSN) based hybrid precoding/combining scheme for mmWave
massive MIMO, whereby the low-rank property of mmWave massive MIMO channel
matrix is leveraged to reduce the required cost and complexity of transceiver
with a negligible performance loss. One key feature of the proposed scheme is
that the macro-cell BS can simultaneously support multiple small-cell BSs with
multiple streams for each smallcell BS, which is essentially different from
conventional hybrid precoding/combining schemes typically limited to
single-user MIMO with multiple streams or multi-user MIMO with single stream
for each user. Based on the proposed scheme, we further explore the fundamental
issues of developing mmWave massive MIMO for wireless backhaul, and the
associated challenges, insight, and prospect to enable the mmWave massive MIMO
based wireless backhaul for 5G UDN are discussed.Comment: This paper has been accepted by IEEE Wireless Communications
