Abstract

In this paper, we consider the power allocation problem for downlink multiceli massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications over Rician fading channels. Each link between a user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) forms a jointly correlated Rician channel, on which some properties of the channel covariance matrices in the massive MIMO scenario are presented. Based on these properties, assuming perfect channel state information (CSI) at UEs and statistical CSI, i.e. the channel coupling matrix (CCM) and the line-of-sight (LOS) component, at BSs, we design a near-optimal power allocation algorithm in terms of maximizing the deterministic equivalent of the ergodic sum-rate in the beam domain. The closed-form objective function of the power allocation problem turns out to be a difference of concave functions, thus we search for the solutions iteratively. Numerical results show that the proposed method performs well in terms of achievable sum-rate.
