Outage-Constrained Beamforming for Two-Tier Massive MIMO Downlink with Pilot Reuse

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems and small cell networks are both regarded as promising candidates to meet the exponential growth of mobile data traffic for the next generation (5G) wireless communications. Hence, a new kind of multitier networks which combine massive MIMO macro...
