摘要:

在过去几十年中,移动数据业务已经呈指数增长,这已经通过网络基础设施在增加的小区密度方面的致密化(即,超密集网络(UDN))和/或增加每个接入点(AP)的活动天线的数量(即,大规模多输入多输出(mMIMO))。然而,UDN和mMIMO都不会满足第六代(6 G)无线通信的日益增长的数据率需求,这分别是由于小区间干扰和大的服务质量变化。无小区(CF)mMIMO结合了UDN和mMIMO的优点,被认为是解决这个问题的关键。在这样的系统中,每个用户设备(UE)由周围AP的优选集合协作地服务。在本文中,我们提供了一个调查的国家的最先进的文献CF mMIMO。作为一个出发点,CF mMIMO的意义和基本属性突出。然后,我们提出了规范框架,其中的基本细节(即,传输过程和数学系统模型)。接下来,我们将深入研究与CF mMIMO相关的资源分配和信号处理问题,并调查最新的方案和算法。然后,我们讨论了实现CF mMIMO时的实际问题。然后指出了未来的潜在方向。最后,我们总结了在这一领域的主要经验教训,总结本文。本文旨在为任何想要为未来无线网络进行CF mMIMO研究的人提供一个起点。

英文摘要:

The mobile data traffic has been exponentially growing during the last decades, which has been enabled by the densification of the network infrastructure in terms of increased cell density (i.e., ultra-dense network (UDN)) and/or increased number of active antennas per access point (AP) (i.e., massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO)). However, neither UDN nor mMIMO will meet the increasing data rate demands of the sixth generation (6G) wireless communications due to the inter-cell interference and large quality-of-service variations, respectively. Cell-free (CF) mMIMO, which combines the best aspects of UDN and mMIMO, is viewed as a key solution to this issue. In such systems, each user equipment (UE) is served by a preferred set of surrounding APs cooperatively. In this paper, we provide a survey of the state-of-the-art literature on CF mMIMO. As a starting point, the significance and the basic properties of CF mMIMO are highlighted. We then present the canonical framework, where the essential details (i.e., transmission procedure and mathematical system model) are discussed. Next, we provide a deep look at the resource allocation and signal processing problems related to CF mMIMO and survey the up-to-date schemes and algorithms. After that, we discuss the practical issues when implementing CF mMIMO. Potential future directions are then pointed out. Finally, we conclude this paper with a summary of the key lessons learned in this field. This paper aims to provide a starting point for anyone who wants to conduct research on CF mMIMO for future wireless networks.
