In this paper, we investigate energy-efficient (EE) power allocation (PA) for a special downlink scenario of the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We consider a minimum power required for each user to ensure that the quality of service (QoS) for each user is satisfied. In this method, a comparison between the sum of minimum power required by users and the maximum transmission power is done to determine whether maximizing EE is possible or not. If the sum of the minimum power required by users is less than the maximum transmission power, we maximize EE. Otherwise, the number of admitted users in a cluster is maximized. In both cases, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than similar algorithms.
In this paper, we consider the power allocation problem for the downlink of the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We propose a new scheme by exploiting the water-filling algorithm in a cell with two zones. It is allocated more power to the farther users, and also users with better channel conditions receive more power in each zone. The users with better channel gain have a higher priority than others in the energy efficiency (EE) point of view. Combining the water-filling and cell division techniques in the MIMO systems leads to a reach EE maximization. We also use standar…
Millimeter wave (mmWave) multi-user massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) is a promising technique for the next generation communication systems. However, the hardware cost and power consumption grow significantly as the number of radio frequency (RF) components increases, which hampers the deployment of practical massive MIMO systems. To address this issue and further facilitate the commercialization of massive MIMO, mixed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) architecture has been considered, where parts of conventionally assumed full-resolution ADCs are replaced by one-bit ADCs. In this pap…
In this paper, we investigate energy-efficient power allocation for the downlink of the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. In our proposed scheme, we divide a cell into two zones. The first area is for users whose distance from the base station (BS) is less than half of the radius of cell and the second area is for users whose distance from BS is more than half of the radius of cell. Based on distance of users from BS and the number of users in each area, we dedicate an amount of power for each user. We also use standard interference fu…
This paper considers the competitive resource allocation problem in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) interfering channels, when users maximize their energy efficiency. Considering each transmitter-receiver pair as a selfish player, conditions on the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium of the underlying noncooperative game are obtained. A decentralized asynchronous algorithm is proven to converge towards this equilibrium under the same conditions. Two frameworks are considered for the analysis of this game. On the one hand, the game is rephrased as a Quasi-Variational Inequali…
Resource allocation is conceived for cell-free (CF) massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO)-aided ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) systems. Specifically, to support multiple devices with limited pilot overhead, pilot reuse among the users is considered, where we formulate a joint pilot length and pilot allocation strategy for maximizing the number of devices admitted. Then, the pilot power and transmit power are jointly optimized while simultaneously satisfying the devices' decoding error probability, latency, and data rate requirements. Firstly, we derive the lower bounds …
Recent work has advocated for the use of deep learning to perform power allocation in the downlink of massive MIMO (maMIMO) networks. Yet, such deep learning models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. In the context of maMIMO power allocation, adversarial attacks refer to the injection of subtle perturbations into the deep learning model's input, during inference (i.e., the adversarial perturbation is injected into inputs during deployment after the model has been trained) that are specifically crafted to force the trained regression model to output an infeasible power allocation solution. …
The development of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) calls for higher spectrum efficiency (SE). Faster than Nyquist (FTN) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are both promising paradigms to improve the SE without any extra spectrum resources required. The combination of FTN and NOMA is an interesting issue and has been focused on recently. In the NOMA technology, user pairing and power allocation are key algorithms determining system capacity. This paper first proposes a joint user pairing and power allocation algorithm for the FTN-based single-carrier (SC) NOMA system. Then, the F…
In this paper, we investigate the energy efficient power allocation for the downlink in the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems under zero-forcing (ZF) receiver. The radio frequencies (RF) that have a significant effect on system performance has not been considered in most of previous researches. Increasing of random changes in RF creates a mismatch channel. We must consider the effects of the RF circuit for the performance evaluation of the massive MIMO systems. We also consider the rate of system in the presence of estimation error, similar to real world, with the quality o…
Resource allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is performed through allocating blocks of subcarriers to each user. Even though OFDM is the primary waveform for 5G NR systems, research reports have noted that single carrier modulation (SCM) offers several advantages over OFDM in massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, making it a preferred candidate for some future applications such as massive machine type communications (mMTC). This paper presents a method for SCM resource allocation and the relevant information recovery algorithms at the receiv…
This paper studies the benefits of incorporating underlaid full-duplex (FD) device-to-device (D2D) communications into massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) downlink systems. Due to the nature of cellular downlink and FD D2D transmission, the performances of cellular and D2D services are severely impaired due to high interference caused by base-stations (BSs) and D2D transceivers. As a consequence, integrating a large number of D2D links into exiting cellular networks might degrade the system performances. To overcome this challenge, utilizing the large uniform linear array (ULA) equip…
This paper considers the uplink performance of a multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system with mobile users. Mobility brings two major problems to a MIMO-OFDM system: inter carrier interference (ICI) and channel aging. In practice, it is common to allot multiple contiguous subcarriers to a user as well as schedule multiple users on each subcarrier. Motivated by this, we consider a general subcarrier allocation scheme and derive expressions for the ICI power, uplink signal to interference plus noise ratio and the achievable …
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a key technology for emerging next-generation wireless systems. Utilizing large antenna arrays at base-stations, massive MIMO enables substantial spatial multiplexing gains by simultaneously serving a large number of users. However, the complexity in massive MIMO signal processing (e.g., data detection) increases rapidly with the number of users, making conventional hand-engineered algorithms less computationally efficient. Low-complexity massive MIMO detection algorithms, especially those inspired or aided by deep learning, have emerged as a pr…
Network densification, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands have recently emerged as some of the physical layer enablers for the future generations of wireless communication networks (5G and beyond). Grounded on prior work on sub-6~GHz cell-free massive MIMO architectures, a novel framework for cell-free mmWave massive MIMO systems is introduced that considers the use of low-complexity hybrid precoders/decoders while factors in the impact of using capacity-constrained fronthaul links. A suboptimal pilot allocation strategy is proposed that is grounde…
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have drawn significant interest recently in next-generation wireless communications. The use of a large number of antennas in massive MIMO makes the estimation of channel state information very challenging. Accurate channel state information is essential in capitalizing the advantages of the massive MIMO technology. This paper proposes the application of the Ensemble Square Root Filter (EnSRF) and a variant of EnSRF, namely a Particle wise Update version of the Ensemble Square Root Filter (PUEnSRF) to estimate the time-selecti…
Hybrid Massive MIMO reduces implementation complexity but only supports beamforming coefficients that are common across all subbands. However, in macro cellular where the channel has limited degrees of freedom, the long-term component of the channel can be decomposed into a set of subband-independent beamforming basis functions referred to as eigenbeams. A Coherent Hybrid Massive MIMO system can form arbitrary linear combinations of the eigenbeams at every subband to mimic Digital Massive MIMO beamforming as observed across all locations in the cell.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is now making its way to the standardization exercise of future 5G networks. Yet, there are still fundamental questions pertaining to the robustness of massive MIMO against physically detrimental propagation conditions. On these grounds, we identify scenarios under which massive MIMO can potentially fail in Ricean channels, and characterize them physically, as well as, mathematically. Our analysis extends and generalizes a stream of recent papers on this topic and articulates emphatically that such harmful scenarios in Ricean fading conditions are …
Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) and massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) are two key enabling technologies to meet the diverse and stringent requirements of the 5G use cases. In a C-RAN system with massive MIMO, fronthaul is often the bottleneck due to its finite capacity and transmit precoding is moved to the remote radio head to reduce the capacity requirements on fronthaul. For such a system, we optimize the power allocated to the users to maximize first the weighted sum rate and then the energy efficiency (EE) while explicitly incorporating the capacity constraints on fronthaul…
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is becoming a mature technology, and has been approved for standardization in the 5G ecosystem. Although there is a large body of papers on the theoretical analysis of massive MIMO, the majority of relevant work assumes the simplified, yet overly idealistic, Kronecker-type model for spatial correlation. Motivated by the deficiencies of the Kronecker model, we invoke a naturally generalized spatial correlation model, that is the Weichselberger model. For this model, we pursue a comprehensive analysis of massive MIMO performance in terms of channel h…
In this paper, we propose a novel joint caching and massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission scheme, referred to as cache-aided massive MIMO, for advanced downlink cellular communications. In addition to reaping the conventional advantages of caching and massive MIMO, the proposed scheme also exploits the side information provided by cached files for interference cancellation at the receivers. This interference cancellation increases the degrees of freedom available for precoding design. In addition, the power freed by the cache-enabled offloading can benefit the transmission…
Cell-free Massive MIMO systems consist of a large number of geographically distributed access points (APs) that serve users by coherent joint transmission. Downlink power allocation is important in these systems, to determine which APs should transmit to which users and with what power. If the system is implemented correctly, it can deliver a more uniform user performance than conventional cellular networks. To this end, previous works have shown how to perform system-wide max-min fairness power allocation when using maximum ratio precoding. In this paper, we first generalize this method to ar…
This letter proposes an energy efficient distributed worst case robust power allocation in massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. We assume a bounded channel state information (CSI) error and all channels lie in some bounded uncertainty region. The problem is formulated as max-min one with infinite constraint. At first, we solve the inner problem with triangle and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, then by fractional programming and successive convex approximation (SCA) technique problem transfers to a convex optimization. Finally closed form transmit power is obtained with distribution…
Vehicular edge computing (VEC) is envisioned as a promising approach to process the explosive computation tasks of vehicular user (VU). In the VEC system, each VU allocates power to process partial tasks through offloading and the remaining tasks through local execution. During the offloading, each VU adopts the multi-input multi-out and non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) channel to improve the channel spectrum efficiency and capacity. However, the channel condition is uncertain due to the channel interference among VUs caused by the MIMO-NOMA channel and the time-varying path-loss cau…
In a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) setup, where one side of the link comprises a linear antenna array, data can be transmitted over the direction of incident rays. Channel capacity for this setup is studied in this paper. We define two different setups; one when the energy is constant and equal over all rays, and one when available energy is evenly distributed over rays. For the latter, we show that there is an upper bound for channel capacity, regardless of the number of rays and antennas. Also, we have compared this setup with the legacy single-input single-output (SISO) AWGN channel.
In this paper power allocation in a cellular network, which transmitter uses massive multiple inputs multiple outputs (MIMO) system was studied. As circuit power consumption is increased by the number of antenna in transmitter and users, thus, to analyze the performance of the network, energy efficiency objective function with considering circuit power consumption was selected. An energy efficiency optimization problem under both maximum transmit power and quality of service (QoS) constraints was considered. To solve this problem under cooperation between users and their base station (BS), ene…
We derive an expression for the capacity of massive multiple-input multiple-output Millimeter wave (mmWave) channel where the receiver is equipped with a variable-resolution Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and a hybrid combiner. The capacity is shown to be a function of Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for a given bit-allocation matrix and hybrid combiner. The condition for optimal ADC bit-allocation under a receiver power constraint is derived. This is derived based on the maximization of capacity with respect to bit-allocation matrix for a given channel, hybrid precoder, and hybrid combiner. …

This work advocates the use of deep learning to perform max-min and max-prod power allocation in the downlink of Massive MIMO networks. More precisely, a deep neural network is trained to learn the map between the positions of user equipments (UEs) and the optimal power allocation policies, and then used to predict the power allocation profiles for a new set of UEs' positions. The use of deep learning significantly improves the complexity-performance trade-off of power allocation, compared to traditional optimization-oriented methods. Particularly, the proposed approach does not require the co…
This paper considers the power-efficient resource allocation problem in a cloud radio access network (C-RAN). The C-RAN architecture consists of a set of base-band units (BBUs) which are connected to a set of radio remote heads (RRHs) equipped with massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO), via fronthaul links with limited capacity. We formulate the power-efficient optimization problem in C-RANs as a joint resource allocation problem in order to jointly allocate the RRH and transmit power to each user, and fronthaul links and BBUs assign to active RRHs while satisfying the minimum required…
In this paper, we derive an optimal ADC bit-allocation (BA) condition for a Single-User (SU) Millimeter wave (mmWave) Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (Ma-MIMO) receiver equipped with variable-resolution ADCs under power constraint with the following criteria: (i) Minimizing the Mean Squared Error (MSE) of the received, quantized and combined symbol vector and (ii) Maximizing the capacity of the SU mmWave Ma-MIMO channel encompassing hybrid precoder and combiner. Optimal BA under both criteria results the same. We jointly design the hybrid combiner based on the SVD of the channel. We dem…
In this paper, we derive a closed-form expression for the combiner of a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) receiver equipped with a minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) estimator. We propose using variable-bit-resolution analog-to- digital converters (ADC) across radio frequency (RF) paths. The combiner designed is a function of the quantization errors across each RF path. Using very low bit resolution ADCs (1-2bits) is a popular approach with massive MIMO receiver architectures to mitigate large power demands. We show that for certain channel conditions, adopting unequal bit resolution ADCs (e…
Fixed low-resolution Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) help reduce the power consumption in millimeter-wave Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (Ma-MIMO) receivers operating at large bandwidths. However, they do not guarantee optimal Energy Efficiency (EE). It has been shown that adopting variable-resolution (VR) ADCs in Ma-MIMO receivers can improve performance with Mean Squared Error (MSE) and throughput while providing better EE. In this paper, we present an optimal energy-efficient bit allocation (BA) algorithm for Ma-MIMO receivers equipped with VR ADCs under a power constraint. We de…
This paper studies a joint communication and sensing (JCAS) system with downlink communication and multi-static sensing for single-target detection in a cloud radio access network architecture. A centralized operation of cell-free massive MIMO is considered for communication and sensing purposes. The JCAS transmit access points (APs) jointly serve the user equipments (UEs) and optionally steer a beam towards the target. A maximum a posteriori ratio test detector is derived to detect the target using signals received at distributed APs. We propose a power allocation algorithm to maximize the se…
In this paper, we propose a Singular-Value-Decomposition-based variable-resolution Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) bit allocation design for a single-user Millimeter wave massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output receiver. We derive the optimality condition for bit allocation under a power constraint. This condition ensures optimal receiver performance in the Mean Squared Error (MSE) sense. We derive the MSE expression and show that it approaches the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). The CRLB is seen to be a function of the analog combiner, the digital combiner, and the bit allocation matrix. We a…
We investigate beam training and allocation for multiuser millimeter wave massive MIMO systems. An orthogonal pilot based beam training scheme is first developed to reduce the number of training times, where all users can simultaneously perform the beam training with the base station (BS). As the number of users increases, the same beam from the BS may point to different users, leading to beam conflict and multiuser interference. Therefore, a quality-of-service (QoS) constrained (QC) beam allocation scheme is proposed to maximize the equivalent channel gain of the QoS-satisfied users, under th…
We study the problem of optimal power allocation in single-hop multi-antenna ad-hoc wireless networks. A standard technique to solve this problem involves optimizing a tri-convex function under power constraints using a block-coordinate-descent based iterative algorithm. This approach, termed WMMSE, tends to be computationally complex and time consuming. Several learning-based approaches have been proposed to speed up the power allocation process. A recent work, UWMMSE, learns an affine transformation of a WMMSE parameter in an unfolded structure to accelerate convergence. In spite of achievin…
The paper considers a scenario where a base station (BS), equipped with a large-scale antenna array, execute, using the same frequency range, both communication with mobile users and radar surveillance of the surrounding environment, relying on the ability of the massive MIMO array to synthesize multiple narrow beams. Based on an OFDM signaling format for both communication and surveillance tasks, a lower bound to the system achievable downlink rate is provided, along with a GLRT detection rule that does not require any knowledge about the target parameters. Then, a power allocation strategy i…
