Abstract

Large-scale MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) systems with numerous low-power antennas can provide better performance in terms of spectrum efficiency, power saving and link reliability than conventional MIMO. For large-scale MIMO, there are several technical issues that need to be practically addressed (e.g., pilot pattern design and low-power transmission design) and theoretically addressed (e.g., capacity bound, channel estimation, and power allocation strategies). In this paper, we analyze the sum rate upper bound of large-scale MIMO, investigate its key technologies including channel estimation, downlink precoding, and uplink detection. We also present some perspectives concerning new channel modeling approaches, advanced user scheduling algorithms, etc.
