Uplink Spectral and Energy Efficiency of Cell-Free Massive MIMO With Optimal Uniform Quantization

Article 2020 EN Green

This paper investigates the performance of limited-fronthaul cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) taking account the fronthaul quantization and imperfect channel acquisition. Three cases are studied, which we refer to as Estimate & Quantize, Quantize & Estimate, and Decentralized, according to where channel estimation is performed and exploited. Maximum-ratio combining (MRC), ze…
