Information Rate Performance of Massive MU-MIMO Uplink with Constant Envelope Pilot-based Frequency Synchronization
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a constant envelope (CE) pilot-based low-complexity technique for frequency synchronization in multi-user massive MIMO systems. Study of the complexity-performance trade-off shows that this CE-pilot-based technique provides better MSE performance when compared to existing low-complexity high-PAPR pilot-based CFO (carrier frequency offset) estimator. Numerical study of the information rate performance of the TR-MRC receiver in imperfect CSI scenario with this CE-pilot based CFO estimator shows that it is more energy-and-spectrally efficient than existing low-complexity CFO estimator in massive MIMO systems. It is also observed that with this CE-pilot based CFO estimation, an O(M) array gain is achievable.
