In this paper, we investigate the performance of cell-free massive MIMO systems with massive connectivity. With the generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) algorithm, we obtain the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimate of the effective channel coefficients from all users to all access points (APs) in order to perform joint user activity detection and channel estimation. Subsequently, using the decoupling properties of MMSE estimation for large linear systems and state evolution equations of the GAMP algorithm, we obtain the variances of both the estimated channel coefficients and the corresponding channel estimation error. Finally, we study the achievable uplink rates with zero-forcing (ZF) detector at the central processing unit (CPU) of the cell-free massive MIMO system. With numerical results, we analyze the impact of the number of pilots used for joint activity detection and channel estimation, the number of APs, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the achievable rates.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of channel aging on the performance of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with pilot contamination. To take into account the channel aging effect due to user mobility, we firs t compute a channel estimate. We use it to derive novel closed-form expressions for the uplink spectral efficiency (SE) of CF massive MIMO systems with large-scale fading decoding and matched-filter receiver cooperation. The performance of a small-cell system is derived for comparison. It is found that CF massive MIMO systems achieve higher 95%-likely uplink SE in both low- and high-mobility conditions, and CF massive MIMO is more robust to channel aging. Fractional power control (FPC) is considered to compensate to limit the inter-user interference. The results show that, compared with full power transmission, the benefits of FPC are gradually weakened as the channel aging grows stronger.
Cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a promising solution to provide uniform good performance for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications. In this paper, we propose the UAV communication with wireless power transfer (W PT) aided CF massive MIMO systems, where the harvested energy (HE) from the downlink WPT is used to support both uplink data and pilot transmission. We derive novel closed-form downlink HE and uplink spectral efficiency (SE) expressions that take hardware impairments of UAV into account. UAV communications with current small cell (SC) and cellular massive MIMO enabled WPT systems are also considered for comparison. It is significant to show that CF massive MIMO achieves two and five times higher 95%-likely uplink SE than the ones of SC and cellular massive MIMO, respectively. Besides, the large-scale fading decoding receiver cooperation can reduce the interference of the terrestrial user. Moreover, the maximum SE can be achieved by changing the time-splitting fraction. We prove that the optimal time-splitting fraction for maximum SE is determined by the number of antennas, altitude and hardware quality factor of UAVs. Furthermore, we propose three UAV trajectory design schemes to improve the SE. It is interesting that the angle search scheme performs best than both AP search and line path schemes. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the accuracy of our expressions.
In this paper, we study how to efficiently and reliably detect active devices and estimate their channels in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based grant-free non-orthogonal multiple access (NO MA) system to enable massive machine-type communications (mMTC). First, by exploiting the correlation of the channel frequency responses in narrow-band mMTC, we propose a block-wise linear channel model. Specifically, the continuous OFDM subcarriers in the narrow-band are divided into several sub-blocks and a linear function with only two variables (mean and slope) is used to approximate the frequency-selective channel in each sub-block. This significantly reduces the number of variables to be determined in channel estimation and the sub-block number can be adjusted to reliably compensate the channel frequency-selectivity. Second, we formulate the joint active device detection and channel estimation in the block-wise linear system as a Bayesian inference problem. By exploiting the block-sparsity of the channel matrix, we develop an efficient turbo message passing (Turbo-MP) algorithm to resolve the Bayesian inference problem with near-linear complexity. We further incorporate machine learning approaches into Turbo-MP to learn unknown prior parameters. Numerical results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm over state-of-the-art algorithms.
In this work, we investigate hybrid analog-digital beamforming (HBF) architectures for uplink cell-free (CF) millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. {We first propose two HBF schemes, namely, decentralized HBF (D-HBF) and semi-centralized HBF (SC-HBF). In the former, both the digital and analog beamformers are generated independently at each AP based on the local channel state information (CSI). In contrast, in the latter, only the digital beamformer is obtained locally at the AP, whereas the analog beamforming matrix is generated at the central processing unit (CPU) based on the global CSI received from all APs. We show that the analog beamformers generated in these two HBF schemes provide approximately the same achievable rates despite the lower complexity of D-HBF and its lack of CSI requirement.} Furthermore, to reduce the power consumption, we propose a novel adaptive radio frequency (RF) chain-activation (ARFA) scheme, which dynamically activates/deactivates RF chains and their connected analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and phase shifters (PSs) at the APs based on the CSI. For the activation of RF chains, low-complexity algorithms are proposed, which can achieve significant improvement in energy efficiency (EE) with only a marginal loss in the total achievable rate.
In this paper, we investigate the impact of channel aging on the performance of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with both spatial correlation and pilot contamination. We derive novel closed-form uplink and downlin k spectral efficiency (SE) expressions that take imperfect channel estimation into account. More specifically, we consider large-scale fading decoding and matched-filter receiver cooperation in the uplink. The uplink performance of a small-cell (SC) system is derived for comparison. The CF massive MIMO system achieves higher 95%-likely uplink SE than the SC system. In the downlink, the coherent transmission has four times higher 95%-likely per-user SE than the non-coherent transmission. Statistical channel cooperation power control (SCCPC) is used to mitigate the inter-user interference. SCCPC performs better than full power transmission, but the benefits are gradually weakened as the channel aging becomes stronger. Furthermore, strong spatial correlation reduces the SE but degrades the effect of channel aging. Increasing the number of antennas can improve the SE while decreasing the energy efficiency. Finally, we use the maximum normalized Doppler shift to design the SE-improved length of the resource block. Simulation results are presented to validate the accuracy of our expressions and prove that the CF massive MIMO system is more robust to channel aging than the SC system.
