Massive MIMO Theory

Redefinition of the cell in mobile wireless

Dr. Thomas Marzetta:

From IEEE transactions on
Wireless Communications Vol
9 No 11 Nov 2010


    
  


THEN
Impact of Uncorrelated Noise = 0
Impact of Fast Fading = 0
Number of UEs is independent of Cell Size
Spectral Efficiency is independent of bandwidth

Which signal do
I care about??

If Dominant Interference >> Residual Interference + Noise

1) Estimate
2) Reconstruct
3) Cancel Correlated Interference
But weaker interference must be treated as white noise
