description This paper considers channel estimation problem in massive MIMO partially centralized cloud-RAN. By noting that the user activities in massive MIMO partially centralized cloud-RAN are sparse, the channel estimation issue is solved by use of compressed data method to minimize the huge pilot overhead. Comparison and analysis of improved MMSE, via-Q and compressed data methods are done for massive MIMO partially centralized cloud-RAN. The achievable spectral efficiency (SE) and normalized mean square error (NMSE) were investigated. The RNA-based estimator gave the best performance for spectral efficiency than the MR for the multicell massive MIMO partially centralized cloud-RAN system. The performance is also evaluated for normalized mean square error for the three estimators with the RNA-MMSE giving the lowest normalized mean square error. The performance between the compressed CSI and the via-Q method show that the two methods are comparable, and this vindicates compressed data as a method to be utilized in channel state information covariance matrix estimation since it compresses the massive MIMO channel information hence mitigating the fronthaul finite capacity problem.
