Impact of Phase Noise on Uplink Cell-Free Massive MIMO OFDM
Cell-Free massive MIMO networks provide huge power gains and resolve inter-cell interference by coherent processing over a massive number of distributed instead of co-located antennas in access points (APs). Cost-efficient hardware is preferred but imperfect local oscillators in both APs and users introduce multiplicative phase noise (PN), which affects the phase coherence between APs and users even with centralized processing. In this paper, we first formulate the system model of a PN-impaired uplink Cell-Free massive MIMO orthogonal frequency division multiplexing network, and then propose a PN-aware linear minimum mean square error channel estimator and derive a PN-impaired uplink spectral efficiency expression. Numerical results are used to quantify the spectral efficiency gain of the proposed channel estimator over alternative schemes for different receiving combiners.
