Trade-Offs in Decentralized Gigantic MIMO with Hard-Boundary Constraints
Juan Vidal Alegría, Joao Vieira, Ove Edfors
To maintain the antenna apertures offered by 5G massive MIMO systems operating at the sub-6GHz band, known as FR1, 6G base stations (BSs) using the upper-mid band, FR3, should increase the number of antennas by a factor 4-8, giving rise to gigantic MIMO. This poses challenges in…
