Abstract
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) technology is considered a key enabler for the 5G and future wireless networks. In most wireless communication systems, mMIMO is employed together with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) which exhibits a high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR). While passing the OFDM signal through one of the common RF front-ends of limited linearity, significant distortion of the transmitted signal can be expected. In mMIMO systems, this problem is still relevant as in some channels the distortion component is beamformed in the same directions as the desired signal. In this work, we propose a multi-antenna clipping noise cancellation (MCNC) algorithm for the downlink of the mMIMO OFDM system. Computer simulations show it can remove nonlinear distortion even under severe nonlinearity. Next, a simplified version of the algorithm is proposed.…
