The book focuses on utilizing sparse signal processing techniques in designing massive MIMO communication systems. As the number of antennas has been increasing rapidly for years, extremely high-dimensional channel matrix and massive user access urge for algorithms with much higher efficiency. This book provides in-depth discussions on compressive sensing techniques and simulates the performance on wireless systems. The easy-to-understand instructions with detailed simulations and open-sourced codes provide convenience for readers such as researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of wireless communications.

The book focuses on the advanced mmWave/Sub-terahertz ultra-massive MIMO wireless communications, which are regarded as a promising paradigm shift in future 5G beyond and even 6G. This is achieved by providing a comprehensive review of the rapidly developing field of massive MIMO communication, in-depth discussions on the impact of extremely large-scale antenna array, and detailed numerical simulation results on our proposed schemes. Several case studies are given after introducing basic communication system components, and the simulation codes are open sourced in our book, which shows the reproducibility of our models and methods and provides convenience for readers such as researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of wireless communications.

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) revolution has triggered the need of massive connectivity for billions of devices requiring a system capacity which is far beyond the current network designs that can be supported. This emerging requirement has reshaped the society and industry in pursuing efficient communication paradigm. In particular, massive machine-type communications (mMTC) will be a prime driver for enabling the vision of scalable IoT with heterogeneous applications, where the massive access is of paramount importance. This book discusses important massive IoT scenarios and the key technical requirements of the corresponding massive access. We review the state-of-the-art IoT standards and mMTC solutions, and summarize the limitations of the existing schemes from the perspectives of the network architecture, random access procedure, and multiple access techniques. Here, we specify the massive access challenges and reveal that the facilitation of MTC invokes a dramatically different access scheme from current ones mainly designed for human-centric communications. Moreover, we propose several promising massive access solutions to overcome the limitations, where sufficient theoretical model and algorithm design guidance are provided. Besides, detailed simulation and engineering implementation methods are also included.
