In cellular wireless networks, user association refers to the problem of assigning mobile users to base station cells -- a critical, but challenging, problem in many emerging small cell and heterogeneous networks. This paper considers a…

Two key traits of 5G cellular networks are much higher base station (BS) densities - especially in the case of low-power BSs - and the use of massive MIMO at these BSs. This paper explores how massive MIMO can be used to jointly maximize…

Cell-Free (CF) Massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) is a distributed antenna system, wherein a large number of back-haul linked access points randomly distributed over a coverage area serve simultaneously a smaller number of users.…

A large-scale distributed antenna system that serves the users by coherent joint transmission is called Cell-free Massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output). For a given user set, only a subset of the access points (APs) is likely needed…

In this paper, we propose a scheme for the joint optimization of the user transmit power and the antenna selection at the access points (AP)s of a user-centric cell-free massive multiple-input-multiple-output (UC CF-mMIMO) system. We derive…
