A comparative analysis of spatially correlated channel models for massive MIMO systems

Jul 2026 · Wireless networks · Vol 32, pp. 2479 - 2503 · 0 citations · 35 references

TL;DR

A unified comparative analysis of three widely used spatially correlated centralized scattering channel models in a multi-cell massive MIMO system suggests that M-MMSE is preferable in strongly correlated environments, while lower-complexity schemes such as RZF provide a favorable trade-off in scenarios with milder spatial correlation.

Pilot Scheduling on Demand: Adaptive Channel Estimation Scheme for TDD Massive MIMO With Diverse Coherence Times

In time-division duplex (TDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, users send pilot sequences for channel state estimation in a fixed time interval, which leads to pilot redundancy if users undergo longer coherence time than the prescribed channel estimation interval, and consequently reduces the net...
