Power Inversion of the Massive MIMO Channel (1905.07555v1)
Published 18 May 2019 in cs.IT, eess.SP, and math.IT
Abstract: Channel hardening characterises the diminishing influence of small scale fading on large scale antenna systems. The effective massive MIMO time domain channel is introduced and applied to a maximum diversity channel with rectangular power delay profile. This model bounds channel hardening and allows a proper interpretation from a radio design perspective. The reduced variability of the effective channel enables power inversion to obtain a downlink channel that only depends on the large scale fading properties.
