Pilot Decontamination in Multi-Cell Massive MIMO Systems via Combining Semi-Blind Channel Estimation With Pilot Assignment

In the multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the mitigation of pilot contamination is an important issue in the semi-blind channel estimations. For the pilot decontamination schemes, the performance of the semi-blind based estimation approaches is constrained by the ratio...
