Pilot Contamination Mitigation via a Novel Time-Shift Pilot Scheme in Large-Scale Multicell Multiuser MIMO Systems

We propose a novel time-shift pilot scheme to mitigate the pilot contamination in large-scale multicell multiuser MIMO (LS-MIMO) systems. In the proposed scheme, the length of the uplink training pilot sequence is equal to the cell number; that is to say, the same pilot sequence is used within a cel...
