Multi-Cell Massive MIMO RSMA: SE Analysis and Deep Global Energy Efficiency Optimization
We consider the downlink of a Rician-faded massive multiple-input-multiple-output multi-cell system, where each base station (BS) serves its user equipments (UEs) with assistance from cell-specific intelligent-reflecting surface (IRS). The BSs employ rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) protocol, and maximal-ratio tra...
