Abstract

This paper studies the application of intelligent reflective surface as an assisting technique in massive multiple-input, multiple-output (IRS-mMIMO) systems. This combination is expected to increase the received signal quality and assist the cell-edge users achieve higher spectral efficiency (SE), and hence throughput. The proposed IRS-mMIMO combination is applied under a multi-cell set up to closely emulate the practical atmosphere and for achieving a detailed examination of the combined systems. Three different combining schemes are considered along with proposing root dependent power assignment technique among all the users within all the serving BSs. The results show that IRS can significantly improve the achievable SE of mMIMO systems.
