          Abstract

          This paper considers a single-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system equipped with a base station (BS) that uses one-bit quantization and investigates the energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE) trade-off by simultaneously looking at the uplink and downlink transmission. To this end, we first propose a new precoding scheme and downlink power allocation strategy, which makes the uplink-downlink SINR duality hold in the one-bit MIMO systems. Then, by taking into account the effect of the imperfect channel state information (CSI), we obtain approximate closed-form expressions for the uplink achievable rate with maximum ratio combining (MRC) and zero-forcing (ZF) receivers, which, according to the duality property, can also be achieved in the downlink transmission. By employing the multiple objective optimization (MOO) framework, we focus on the optimal design for the EE and SE trade-off that jointly selects the number of active terminals, pilot training duration and operating power to maximize both EE and SE. The weighted Chebyshev method is used to obtain the Pareto boundary of EE and SE, which allows the system to know all the possible operating points and balance the EE and SE in an efficient way. In order to go beyond the Pareto boundary and actually solve the MOO problem, this problem is transformed into a single-objective problem using the a priori method such as the weighted product method, where the operating EE and SE are chosen with equal importance by adjusting the weights. Numerical results are presented to verify our analytical results and demonstrate the fundamental tradeoff between EE and SE for different parameter settings.

            Massive MIMO for Next Generation Wireless Systems

            , , (2014)
            Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) offers big advantages over conventional point-to-point MIMO: it works with cheap single-antenna terminals, a rich scattering environment is not required, and resource allocation is simplified because every active terminal utilizes all of the time-frequency bins. However, multi-user MIMO, as originally envisioned with roughly equal numbers of service-antennas and terminals and frequency division duplex operation, is not a scalable technology. Massive MIMO (also known as "Large-Scale Antenna Systems", "Very Large MIMO", "Hyper MIMO", "Full-Dimension MIMO" & "ARGOS") makes a clean break with current practice through the use of a large excess of service-antennas over active terminals and time division duplex operation. Extra antennas help by focusing energy into ever-smaller regions of space to bring huge improvements in throughput and radiated energy efficiency. Other benefits of massive MIMO include the extensive use of inexpensive low-power components, reduced latency, simplification of the media access control (MAC) layer, and robustness to intentional jamming. The anticipated throughput depend on the propagation environment providing asymptotically orthogonal channels to the terminals, but so far experiments have not disclosed any limitations in this regard. While massive MIMO renders many traditional research problems irrelevant, it uncovers entirely new problems that urgently need attention: the challenge of making many low-cost low-precision components that work effectively together, acquisition and synchronization for newly-joined terminals, the exploitation of extra degrees of freedom provided by the excess of service-antennas, reducing internal power consumption to achieve total energy efficiency reductions, and finding new deployment scenarios. This paper presents an overview of the massive MIMO concept and contemporary research.

              Scaling up MIMO: Opportunities and Challenges with Very Large Arrays

              This paper surveys recent advances in the area of very large MIMO systems. With very large MIMO, we think of systems that use antenna arrays with an order of magnitude more elements than in systems being built today, say a hundred antennas or more. Very large MIMO entails an unprecedented number of antennas simultaneously serving a much smaller number of terminals. The disparity in number emerges as a desirable operating condition and a practical one as well. The number of terminals that can be simultaneously served is limited, not by the number of antennas, but rather by our inability to acquire channel-state information for an unlimited number of terminals. Larger numbers of terminals can always be accommodated by combining very large MIMO technology with conventional time- and frequency-division multiplexing via OFDM. Very large MIMO arrays is a new research field both in communication theory, propagation, and electronics and represents a paradigm shift in the way of thinking both with regards to theory, systems and implementation. The ultimate vision of very large MIMO systems is that the antenna array would consist of small active antenna units, plugged into an (optical) fieldbus.
