Abstract
Cell-free massive multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems comprise a large number of distributed access points (APs) to serve a small number of user equipments (UEs). In this paper, compute-and-forward (CF) is investigated for uplink in cell-free massive MIMO. We propose a novel reverse CF precoding scheme for downlink transmission for cell-free massive MIMO. The APs send the linear equations of messages over a multiple access channel, and the UEs recover messages without interferences. The max–min power allocation is investigated to provide uniformly good service to all UEs. Numeral results demonstrate the performance improvement provided by the proposed reverse CF precoder against zero-forcing, conjugate beamforming, and linear minimum mean-square error precoder.
