Abstract
In this letter, we analyze the performance of asynchronous cell-free multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CF mMIMO-OFDM) system with mixed coherent and non-coherent transmission approaches. To this end, we first obtain the achievable downlink sum-rate for the mixed coherent and non-coherent transmissions, and then provide a closed-form expression for the case with the maximum ratio precoding. Subsequently, an efficient access point (AP) clustering algorithm is proposed to group APs into a set of coherent clusters. Numerical results demonstrate that the mixed coherent and non-coherent transmissions can effectively improve the sum-rate of CF mMIMO-OFDM systems under asynchronous reception.
在本文中,我们分析了采用混合相干和非相干传输方式的异步无小区多输入多输出正交频分复用(CF mMIMO-OFDM)系统的性能。为此,我们首先得到了相干和非相干混合传输可实现的下行和速率,然后给出了最大比率预编码情况的封闭表达式。在此基础上,提出了一种高效的接入点聚类算法,将接入点聚为一组相干簇。数值结果表明,在异步接收条件下,相干和非相干混合传输可以有效提高CF mimo - ofdm系统的和速率。
