The high hardware complexity of a massive MIMO base station, which requires hundreds of radio chains, makes it challenging to build commercially. One way to reduce the hardware complexity and power consumption of the receiver is to lower the resolution of the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). We…
In massive MIMO systems, which rely on uplink pilots to estimate the channel, the time interval between pilot transmissions constrains the length of the downlink. Since switching between up- and downlink takes time, longer downlink blocks increase the effective spectral efficiency. We investigate th…
We investigate the performance of wideband massive MIMO base stations that use one-bit ADCs for quantizing the uplink signal. Our main result is to show that the many taps of the frequency-selective channel make linear combiners asymptotically consistent and the quantization noise additive and Gauss…
