Impact of Frequency Selectivity on the Information Rate Performance of CFO Impaired Single-Carrier Massive MU-MIMO Uplink

摘要

In this paper, we study the impact of frequency-selectivity on the gapbetween the required per-user transmit power in the residual CFO scenario (i.e.after CFO estimation/compensation at the base-station (BS) from [6]) and thatin the ideal/zero CFO scenario, for a fixed per-user information rate, insingle-carrier massive MU-MIMO uplink systems with the TR-MRC receiver.Information theoretic analysis reveals that this gap decreases with increasingfrequency-selectivity of the channel. Also, in the residual CFO scenario, an$\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{M})$ array gain is still achievable ($M$ is the number of BSantennas) in frequency-selective channels with imperfect channel estimates.
