متن کاملOn the Performance of MRC Receiver with Unknown Timing Mismatch-A Large Scale Analysis
There has been extensive research on large scale multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MUMIMO) systems recently. Researchers have shown that there are great opportunities in this area, however, there are many obstacles in the way to achieve full potential of using large number of receive antennas. One of the main issues, which will be investigated thoroughly in this paper, is timing asynch...
