Impact of User Mobility on Optimal Linear Receivers in Cellular Networks
We consider the uplink of non-cooperative multi-cellular systems deploying
multiple antenna elements at the base stations (BS), covering both the cases of
conventional and very large number of antennas. Given the inevitable pilot
contamination and an arbitrary path-loss for each link, we address the impact
of time variation of the channel due to the relative movement between users and
BS antennas, which limits system's performance even if the number antennas is
increased, as shown. In particular, we propose an optimal linear receiver (OLR)
maximizing the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR). Closed-form
lower and upper bounds are derived as well as the deterministic equivalent of
the OLR is obtained. Numerical results reveal the outperformance of the
proposed OLR against known linear receivers, mostly in environments with high
interference and certain user mobility, as well as that massive MIMO is
preferable even in time-varying channel conditions.Comment: 3 figures, 6 pages, accepted in ICC 201
Jamming Resistant Receivers for Massive MIMO
We design jamming resistant receivers to enhance the robustness of a massive
MIMO uplink channel against jamming. In the pilot phase, we estimate not only
the desired channel, but also the jamming channel by exploiting purposely
unused pilot sequences. The jamming channel estimate is used to construct the
linear receive filter to reduce impact that jamming has on the achievable
rates. The performance of the proposed scheme is analytically and numerically
evaluated. These results show that the proposed scheme greatly improves the
rates, as compared to conventional receivers. Moreover, the proposed schemes
still work well with stronger jamming power.Comment: Accepted in the 42nd IEEE Int. Conf. Acoust., Speech, and Signal
