In traditional Machine Learning, the algorithms predictions are based on the assumption that the data follows the same distribution in both the training and the test datasets. However, in real world data this condition does not hold and,…
We consider transmission of system information in massive MIMO. This information needs to be reliably delivered to inactive users in the cell without any channel state information at the base station. Downlink transmission entails the use…
