As a key technology for future wireless networks, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can significantly improve the energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE), and the performance is highly dependant on the degree of the available channel state information (CSI). While most existing works on massive MIMO focused on the case where the instantaneous CSI at the transmitter (CSIT) is available, it is usually not an easy task to obtain precise instantaneous CSIT. In this paper, we investigate EE-SE tradeoff in single-cell massive MIMO downlink transmission with statistical CSIT. To this end, we aim to optimize the system resource efficiency (RE), which is capable of striking an EE-SE balance. We first figure out a closed-form solution for the eigenvectors of the optimal transmit covariance matrices of different user terminals, which indicates that beam domain is in favor of performing RE optimal transmission in massive MIMO downlink. Based on this insight, the RE optimization precoding design is reduced to a real-valued power allocation problem. Exploiting the techniques of sequential optimization and random matrix theory, we further propose a low-complexity suboptimal two-layer water-filling-structured power allocation algorithm. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness and nearoptimal performance of the proposed statistical CSI aided RE optimization approach.

We investigate energy efficiency (EE) optimization for single-cell massive multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) downlink transmission with only statistical channel state information (CSI) available at the base station. We first show that beam domain transmission is favorable for energy efficiency in the massive MIMO downlink, by deriving a closed-form solution for the eigenvectors of the optimal transmit covariance matrix. With this conclusion, the EE optimization problem is reduced to a real-valued power allocation problem, which is much easier to tackle than the original large-dimensional complex matrix-valued precoding design problem. We further propose an iterative water-filling-structured beam domain power allocation algorithm with low complexity and guaranteed convergence, exploiting the techniques from sequential optimization, fractional optimization, and random matrix theory. Numerical results demonstrate the near-optimal performance of our proposed statistical CSI aided EE optimization approach.
