Study of Multiuser Multiple-Antenna Wireless Communications Systems Based on Super-Resolution Arrays

This work studies multiple-antenna wireless communication systems based on super-resolution arrays (SRAs). We consider the uplink of a multiple-antenna system in which users communicate with a multiple-antenna base station equipped with SRAs. In particular, we develop linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receive filters along with linear and successive interference cancellation receivers for processing signals with the difference co-array originating from the SRAs. We then derive analytical expressions to assess the achievable sum-rates associated with the proposed multiple-antenna systems with SRAs. Simulations show that the proposed multiple-antenna systems with SRAs outperform existing systems with standard arrays that have a larger number of antenna elements.
