Massive MIMO is a promising approach in order to increase the data rate of cellular systems while reducing their power consumption. While the concept is elegant, many potential show-stoppers have to be investigated, in order to make sure that the idea keeps its promises. On such element is the claim that massive MIMO systems can operate with very low digital signal processing accuracy, and hence reduced implementation complexity and power consumption.
In this paper, we investigate the impact of digital quantization of massive MIMO at low resolution. Simulations show that the system can operate correctly with as few as 2 or 3 bits of digital resolution at the end of the digital chain, while limiting the degradation to 1 dB in required signal-to-noise ratio.

Video surveillance systems are commonly used for environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, existing systems such as [1, 2] can only monitor scenes statically. When an accident or a fire event happens, we…
Nonreciprocal light transmission is critical in building optical isolations and circulations in optical communication systems. Achieving high optical isolation and broad bandwidth with CMOS-compatibility are still difficult in silicon nano-photonics.…
In this paper, we study the variable feedback strategy design for each user in the multiple-input single-output (MISO) broadcast (BC) systems. We adopt Tomlinson-Harashima precoder (THP) with random vector quantization…
An all-optical wavelength-preserved 2R regenerator for 25-Gb/s NRZ-OOK signal is experimentally demonstrated. The scheme is based on transient-cross phase modulation and cross gain compression in SOAs. The signal quality can…
With the advent of HTML5, the next generation of browser-based technologies for web developers, new connectivity paradigms have arisen that will allow web developers to move beyond HTTP-based stateless transactions.…
We study lower bounds on mutual information that are achievable rates for optimal and sub-optimal hard-decision (HD) and soft-decision (SD) decoding. These rates represent the maximum amount of information we…
Among a number of ensemble learning techniques, boosting and bagging are the most popular sampling-based ensemble approaches for classification problems. Boosting is considered stronger than bagging on noise-free data set…
In this letter, a fiber-optic temperature sensor using an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Part of the fiber in the oscillator loop is taken as the…
In a context where the control of gases becomes important in a wide range of applications - health care, industry, housing, transportation, environment, etc. - we have in sight the…
