Abstract
In this paper, a generalized uplink cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) system with hardware imperfections is investigated. Specifically, the hardware impairments consist of multiplicative phase drifts, additive distortion, and amplified thermal noise. Leveraging on a generic hardware impairment model, closed-form expressions for the channel estimation and achievable rate are presented. Based on these tractable results, we explore the uplink achievable rate surrounding the key design parameters, i.e., the channel estimation error, the number of antenna arrays, the local oscillator (LO) setup, and the variance of phase drifts. Aside from this, we also design a power optimization algorithm to maximize the sum-rate under variant channel use. The weighted minimum mean square error (MMSE) methodology is introduced to iteratively determine the solution in closed form. Numerical simulations validate the analytical analyses and examine the effectiveness of the proposed power control algorithm.
