Cell-Free Massive MIMO: User-Centric Approach
Abstract
Recently, the so-called cell-free (CF) massive MIMO architecture has been introduced, wherein a very large number of distributed access points simultaneously and jointly serve a much smaller number of mobile stations. This letter introduces a user-centric (UC) virtual cell approach to CF massive MIMO, wherein each user is served only by a limited number of access points. The UC approach requires less backhaul overhead than the CF approach, and outperforms the latter in terms of achievable rate-per-user for the vast majority of the users in the network.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
