Impact of Frequency Selectivity on the Information Rate Performance of CFO Impaired Single-Carrier Massive MU-MIMO Uplink (1506.01138v3)
Published 3 Jun 2015 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: In this paper, we study the impact of frequency-selectivity on the gap between the required per-user transmit power in the residual CFO scenario (i.e. after CFO estimation/compensation at the base-station (BS) from [6]) and that in the ideal/zero CFO scenario, for a fixed per-user information rate, in single-carrier massive MU-MIMO uplink systems with the TR-MRC receiver. Information theoretic analysis reveals that this gap decreases with increasing frequency-selectivity of the channel. Also, in the residual CFO scenario, an $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{M})$ array gain is still achievable ($M$ is the number of BS antennas) in frequency-selective channels with imperfect channel estimates.
