An efficient pilot assignment scheme for addressing pilot contamination in multicell massive MIMO systems

AS Al-hubaishi, NK Noordin, A Sali, S Subramaniam… - Electronics, 2019 - mdpi.com
The reuse of the same pilot group across cells to address bandwidth limitations in a network
has resulted in pilot contamination. This causes severe inter-cell interference at the targeted …

DK Ngala, KAB Opare, EA Affum, K Oteng Gyasi… - Journal of Engineering …, 2023 - Springer
In this paper, we propose a linear assignment problem (LAP) scheme using greedy
algorithms to alleviate the intercell interference (ICI) in massive multi-input multiple-output …

Partial pilot allocation scheme in multi-cell massive MIMO systems for pilot contamination reduction

AS Al-hubaishi, NK Noordin, A Sali, S Subramaniam… - Energies, 2020 - mdpi.com
Inter-cell interference has been identified as one of the major challenges of multiple-input–
multiple-output (MIMO)-enabled cellular systems. This problem occurs when the same pilot …
