In this work, we provide a unified framework for full-duplex (FD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular networks with low-resolution analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADCs and DACs). An objective of this work is to derive an accurate model to account for a wide variety of network irregularities and imperfections, including loopback self-interference (SI) that arises in full-duplex systems and quantization error from low-resolution data converters. Our contributions for forward and reverse links include (1) deriving signal-to-quantization-plus-interference-plus-noise ratio (SQINR) under pilot contamination, linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimation and channel hardening; (2) deriving closed-form and approximate analytical expressions of spectral efficiency; (3) deriving asymptotic results and power scaling laws with respect to the number of quantization bits, base station antennas, and users, as well as base station and user equipment power budgets; and (4) analyzing outage probability and spectral efficiency vs. cell shape, shadowing, noise, cellular interference, pilot contamination, pilot overhead, and frequency reuse. Cell shapes include hexagonal, square, and Poisson Point Process (PPP) tessellations. In simulation, we quantify spectral and energy efficiency as well as the impact of SI power, inter-user interference, and cell shape on outage probability. We carry out the analysis for sub-7 GHz long term evolution (LTE) bands and then extend the framework to support millimeter wave (mmWave) bands. |
