Distributed Massive MIMO with 1-Bit Radio-over-Fiber Fronthaul: Uplink Spectral Efficiency and Power Control
Alireza Bordbar, Anzhong Hu, Giuseppe Durisi
We analyze the uplink spectral efficiency achievable in a distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) architecture employing a 1-bit radio-over-fiber fronthaul. This architecture eliminates the need for local oscillators at the access points, hence enabling coherent-phase…
