Outage Probability Analysis and Resolution Profile Design for Massive MIMO Uplink With Mixed-ADC.

This paper analyzes the outage probability for the uplink of multi-user massive multi-input-multi-output systems with a mixed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture, in which the base station (BS) is equipped with ADCs of different resolution levels. Maximum-ratio combining (MRC) is used at the BS. By deriving the distribution of the user-interference power and statistical properties of ot...
