1 Massive MIMO Multicasting in Noncooperative Cellular Networks Zhengzheng Xiang, Meixia Tao, Senior Member, IEEE, and Xiaodong Wang, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—We study physical layer multicasting in cellular to improve the wireless multicast throughput. The multicast networks where each base station (BS) is equipped with a very beamforming was first considered in [4]–[6] for a single large number of antennas and transmits a common message using group of users. The similar problem of multicasting to mul- a single beamformer to multiple mobile users. The messages sent by different BSs are independent and the BSs do not cooperate. tiple cochannel groups was then studied in [7], [8]. In [9], We first show that when each BS knows the perfect channel state the coordinated multicast beamforming in multicell networks information (CSI) of its own served users, the asymptotically was investigated. The authors in [10] studied the multicast optimal beamformer at each BS is a linear combination of the beamforming and resource allocation for orthogonal frequency channel vectors of its multicast users. Moreover, the optimal and division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In [11], the multicast explicit combining coefficients are obtained. Then we consider the imperfect CSI scenario where the CSI is obtained through uplink precoding was considered for a single-group network. Dif- channel estimation in time-division duplex systems.
