Partial Cooperative Zero-Forcing Decoding for Uplink Cell-Free Massive MIMO
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We propose a partial cooperative zero-forcing (PCZF) decoding scheme for the uplink cell-free massive MIMO system, wherein the neighboring access points (APs) around each user equipment (UE) share the channel state information (CSI) and jointly suppress the interference using the zero-forcing technique. Using asymptotic analysis, we derive a closed-form asymptotic expression for a lower bound on the achievable rates. Considering the unique and complex form of the achievable rates, we propose power control schemes according to two criteria. The first criterion is to maximize the minimum achievable rate. For this criterion, we propose a target-SINR-tracking (TST)-based bisection algorithm. Since the power control update functions are standard interference functions, the TST-based bisection method always converges to the optimal solution. The second criterion is to maximize the sum rate, for which we propose two power control algorithms: 1) randomization and scaling algorithm (RSA) and 2) fractional programming algorithm (FPA). In each iteration of the RAS algorithm, we first exploit the randomization technique to transform the sum-rate maximization problem into a series of power minimization problems, and then improve the sum rate by scaling. In the FP algorithm, we derive a lower bound on the sum rate, and then propose an iterative approach based on the Lagrangian dual transform and fractional programming to maximize the sum-rate lower bound. Numerical results validate the theoretical analysis and verify the efficiency of the proposed power control algorithms.

Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
