The Performance Analysis of Two Conventional Linear Pre-Coding Schemes in Massive MIMO System with Imperfect CSIT

Abstract

For this paper, we analyze the achievable sum rate of zero-forcing (ZF) pre-coding and Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT) pre-coding with Matrix Normalization in massive MIMO system with Imperfect CSIT. We compare the performances of these two pre-codings and find that ZF pre-coding outperforming MRT pre-coding in the high SNR region while MRT pre-coding outperforming ZF pre-coding in the low SNR region. Then we derive the threshold of the pre-coding selection and provide the procedure of pre-coding schemes selection.
