Abstract

This paper considers massive MIMO uplink using maximum ratio combining (MRC) and zero forcing (ZF) receivers with perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI). We develop pilot and data power allocation strategies among users under peak power constraint and prove their asymptotic optimality in maximizing the sum-rate lower bound. Then we investigate the optimal amount of pilot symbols. Analytical and simulation results illustrate the performance gain of the proposed power allocation, and the impact of pilot overhead on sum-rate.
