Abstract
In this paper, a new multi-cell MMSE detector is proposed for massive MIMO systems. Let and denote the number of users in each cell and the number of available pilot sequences in the network, respectively, with , where is called the pilot reuse factor. The novelty of the multi-cell MMSE detector is that it utilizes all channel directions that can be estimated locally at a base station, so that intra-cell interference, parts of the inter-cell interference and the noise can all be actively suppressed, while conventional detectors only use the intra-cell channels. Furthermore, in the large-system limit, a deterministic equivalent expression of the uplink SINR for the proposed multi-cell MMSE is derived. The expression is easy to compute and accounts for power control for the pilot and payload, imperfect channel estimation and arbitrary pilot…
