Joint Pilot Allocation and Pilot Sequence Optimization in Massive MIMO Systems

Pilot contamination (PC) is recognized as a bottleneck for the achievable throughput of multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, we propose a joint pilot allocation and pilot sequences optimization (JPA-PSO) scheme to mitigate the effects of PC and maximize th...
