Abstract
Pilot contamination has been known as one of the most challenging issues in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Every user will experience interferences from users in adjacent cells who employ the same pilot sequence. For cell-edge users, pilot contamination is particularly detrimental, because their signals might be overwhelmed by the interference. In this paper, we propose a pilot decontamination method based on a spatial filter, which exploits the spatial sparsity of massive MIMO channels. In massive MIMO systems, the communication protocols are generally divided into four phases: pilot transmission, processing, uplink data transmission, and downlink data transmission. In the first phase, the base station (BS) receives both the desired signal and the pilot contaminated signal. In the second phase, all users in the target cell stay silent for one symbol period, and the BS only receives interference from adjacent cells. The fast Fourier transform can then be employed to analyze the spatial spectrums of the received signals. The spatial sparsity of the massive MIMO channels makes it possible to identify the pilot contamination components by comparing the two spectrums on different spatial signatures (or angles of arrival). A spatial filter can then be constructed to eliminate pilot contamination. Both the theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, whose complexity is comparable to that of the traditional matched filter-based channel estimator.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
