Large System Analysis of Power Normalization Techniques in Massive MIMO
Linear precoding has been widely studied in the context of Massive
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) together with two common power
normalization techniques, namely, matrix normalization (MN) and vector
normalization (VN). Despite this, their effect on the performance of Massive
MIMO systems has not been thoroughly studied yet. The aim of this paper is to
fulfill this gap by using large system analysis. Considering a system model
that accounts for channel estimation, pilot contamination, arbitrary pathloss,
and per-user channel correlation, we compute tight approximations for the
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and the rate of each user equipment in
the system while employing maximum ratio transmission (MRT), zero forcing (ZF),
and regularized ZF precoding under both MN and VN techniques. Such
approximations are used to analytically reveal how the choice of power
normalization affects the performance of MRT and ZF under uncorrelated fading
channels. It turns out that ZF with VN resembles a sum rate maximizer while it
provides a notion of fairness under MN. Numerical results are used to validate
the accuracy of the asymptotic analysis and to show that in Massive MIMO,
non-coherent interference and noise, rather than pilot contamination, are often
the major limiting factors of the considered precoding schemes.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, Accepted for publication in the IEEE

On the Derivation of Optimal Partial Successive Interference Cancellation
The necessity of accurate channel estimation for Successive and Parallel
Interference Cancellation is well known. Iterative channel estimation and
channel decoding (for instance by means of the Expectation-Maximization
algorithm) is particularly important for these multiuser detection schemes in
the presence of time varying channels, where a high density of pilots is
necessary to track the channel. This paper designs a method to analytically
derive a weighting factor , necessary to improve the efficiency of
interference cancellation in the presence of poor channel estimates. Moreover,
this weighting factor effectively mitigates the presence of incorrect decisions
at the output of the channel decoder. The analysis provides insight into the
properties of such interference cancellation scheme and the proposed approach
significantly increases the effectiveness of Successive Interference
Cancellation under the presence of channel estimation errors, which leads to
gains of up to 3 dB.Comment: IEEE GLOBECOM 201
Distributed Compressive CSIT Estimation and Feedback for FDD Multi-user Massive MIMO Systems
To fully utilize the spatial multiplexing gains or array gains of massive
MIMO, the channel state information must be obtained at the transmitter side
(CSIT). However, conventional CSIT estimation approaches are not suitable for
FDD massive MIMO systems because of the overwhelming training and feedback
overhead. In this paper, we consider multi-user massive MIMO systems and deploy
the compressive sensing (CS) technique to reduce the training as well as the
feedback overhead in the CSIT estimation. The multi-user massive MIMO systems
exhibits a hidden joint sparsity structure in the user channel matrices due to
the shared local scatterers in the physical propagation environment. As such,
instead of naively applying the conventional CS to the CSIT estimation, we
propose a distributed compressive CSIT estimation scheme so that the compressed
measurements are observed at the users locally, while the CSIT recovery is
performed at the base station jointly. A joint orthogonal matching pursuit
recovery algorithm is proposed to perform the CSIT recovery, with the
capability of exploiting the hidden joint sparsity in the user channel
matrices. We analyze the obtained CSIT quality in terms of the normalized mean
absolute error, and through the closed-form expressions, we obtain simple
insights into how the joint channel sparsity can be exploited to improve the
CSIT recovery performance.Comment: 16 double-column pages, accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions
