TL;DR: Bussgang decomposition is utilized to derive downlink signal-to-quantization-plus-interference-plus-interference-plus-noise ratio (SQINR) and ergodic achievable rate expressions under one-bit quantized maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and zero-forcing (ZF) precoding schemes considering scenarios with and without pilot contamination (PC) in the derived channel estimates.

Abstract: This work studies a multi-cell one-bit massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that employs one-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) at each base station (BS). We utilize Bussgang decomposition to derive downlink signal-to-quantization-plus-interference-plus-noise ratio (SQINR) and ergodic achievable rate expressions under one-bit quantized maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and zero-forcing (ZF) precoding schemes considering scenarios with and without pilot contamination (PC) in the derived channel estimates. The results are also simplified for the mixed architecture that employs full resolution (FR) ADCs and one-bit DACs, and the conventional architecture that employs FR ADCs and DACs. The SQINR is shown to decrease by a factor of $2/\pi $ and $4/\pi ^{2}$ in the one-bit setting compared to that achieved in the mixed setting and conventional setting respectively under MRT precoding without PC. Interestingly, the decrease in SQINR is less when we consider PC, which is shown to adversely impact the conventional system more than the one-bit system. Similar insights are obtained under ZF precoding with the decrease in the SQINR with the use of one-bit ADCs and DACs being more pronounced. We utilize the derived expressions to yield performance insights related to power efficiency, the numbers of antennas needed by the three architectures to achieve the same sum-rate, and energy efficiency.

TL;DR: The gains in multiuser systems are even more impressive, because such systems offer the possibility to transmit simultaneously to several users and the flexibility to select what users to schedule for reception at any given point in time.
Writing on dirty paper (Corresp.)
TL;DR: It is shown that the optimal transmitter adapts its signal to the state S rather than attempting to cancel it, which is also the capacity of a standard Gaussian channel with signal-to-noise power ratio P/N.
