Asymptotically Optimal Local Receiver in Uplink CF-mMIMO: A Functional-Variational Analysis
Jiafei Fu, Peng Jiang, Dongming Wang, Pengcheng Zhu
In cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO) systems, the canonical uplink local receiver is the local minimum mean square error (LMMSE) receiver with large-scale fading decoding (LSFD) at the central processing unit (CPU). The LSFD coefficients are derived unde…
