description the pilot contamination (PC) issue still faces and limits the promising massive MIMO (mMIMO) technology, to unleash the high benefits of mMIMO, we provide here a new decontaminating strategy, which exploits the large-scale fading coefficients' characteristics to construct a search space for the Ant colony-based optimization (ACO) algorithm. This algorithm is employed to find the best pattern in which each UE is linked to its most concurrent UEs of the adjacent cells; specifically, each UEs has an enemy UEs that if they are allocated with the same pilot, the severity of the PC upon the two UEs become subversive for the quality-of-service of the two UEs. Hence, the ACO algorithm finds for each UE its enemy UE, which leads to construct a Hamiltonian graph. This graph is exploited during the assignment of the pilot sequences to the overall UEs; specifically, the linked UEs are successively allocated with the available OPSs, which leads to address the PC problem within multi-cell mMIMO systems.
