In this paper, a new state-of-the-art multi-cell MMSE scheme is proposed for massive MIMO networks, which includes an uplink MMSE detector and a downlink MMSE precoder. The main novelty is that it exploits all available pilots for…

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive MIMO) can provide large spectral and energy efficiency gains. Nevertheless, its potential is conditioned on acquiring accurate channel state information (CSI). In time division duplexing (TDD)…

We consider Internet of Things (IoT) organized on the principles of cell-free massive MIMO. Since the number of things is very large, orthogonal pilots cannot be assigned to all of them even if the things are stationary. This results in an…

With the large number of antennas and subcarriers the overhead due to pilot transmission for channel estimation can be prohibitive in wideband massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. This can degrade the overall spectral…

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MaMIMO) has become an integral part of the fifth-generation (5G) standard, and is envisioned to be further developed in beyond 5G (B5G) networks. With a massive number of antennas at the base station…

Massive MIMO brings both motivations and challenges to develop the 5th generation Mobile wireless technology. The promising number of users and the high bitrate offered per unit area are challenged by uplink pilot contamination due to pilot…

In this paper, the downlink of a multi-cell massive MIMO system is considered where the channel state information (CSI) is estimated via pilot symbols that are orthogonal in a cell but re-used in other cells. Re-using the pilots, however,…

The users at cell edge of a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system suffer from severe pilot contamination, which leads to poor quality of service (QoS). In order to enhance the QoS for these edge users, soft pilot reuse (SPR)…

In a device-to-device (D2D) underlaid massive MIMO system, D2D transmitters reuse the uplink spectrum of cellular users (CUs), leading to cochannel interference. To decrease pilot overhead, we assume pilot reuse (PR) among D2D pairs. We…

Although the benefits of precoding and combining of data signals are widely recognized, the potential of these techniques for pilot transmission is not fully understood. This is particularly relevant for multiuser multiple-input…

We consider the downlink of a multi-cell massive MIMO system suffering from asymptotic rate saturation due to pilot contamination. As opposed to treating pilot contamination interference as noise (TIN), we study the performance of decoding…
