Abstract

Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems have been shown to improve both spectral and energy efficiency one or more orders of magnitude by efficiently exploiting the spatial domain. Low-cost RF chains can be employed to reduce the Base Station (BS) cost, however this may require additional baseband processing to handle induced distortions due to the hardware impairments. In this article the reduction of Peak-to-Average power Ratio (PAR) of the transmitted signals and IQ imbalance in the mixer are analyzed for the down-link.
We analyze various pre-coding schemes and estimate the required processing energy per transmitted information bit. Simulation on gate-level show that the energy cost of performing pre-coding and tackling of hardware impairments range from very low to reasonable, compared to the processing necessary in a system without impairments.
