  • Modified conjugate beamforming for cell-free massive MIMO
    Attarifar, Masoud; Abbasfar, Aliazam; Lozano Solsona, Angel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
    We present a modification of conjugate beamforming for the forward link of cell-free massive MIMO networks. This modification eliminates the self-interference and yields a performance that, without forward pilots, closely ...
  • Distribution of the number of users per base station in cellular networks
