Novel transmit antenna selection strategy for massive MIMO downlink channel

In this paper, we deal with the problem of acquiring the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter in large-scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, so-called massive MIMO systems. Clearly, obtaining CSI plays a central role to provide high system performance. Even though, in frequency-division duplexed systems, acquiring this information requires a prohibitive amount of feedback, since it increases with the number of...
