Coupled Access-Fronthaul Feasibility Analysis for Wireless-Fronthauled Cell-Free Massive MIMO Under an Option-8 Functional Split
In this paper, we consider a wireless-fronthauled cell-free massive MIMO network and analyze the coupling between the access and fronthaul links under the Option-8 functional split. The two links are coupled through the design parameters, namely the access bandwidth $B_{\text{ac}}$ and the number of access point (AP) a...
