one6G – Open Lecture 8 – Cell-free massive MIMO

Following the success of the previous lectures, the Association is happy to confirm that Open Lecture 8 will take place on June 20, 2024, at 14h00 CEST, covering the subject of cell-free massive MIMO.

Current wireless standards are evolving toward large-scale massive MIMO deployments. Cell-free massive MIMO (CF-MIMO, also known as distributed MIMO) is a promising new architecture for future radio access. By moving away from the classical cellular design, it avoids the problems of cell-edge interference and frequent handovers. This is especially important when transmission-reception points (TRP) and user equipments (UE) are densely distributed. A key feature differentiating cell-free MIMO from previous distributed MIMO architectures is the concept of user-centricity, which means that each UE can be flexibly connected to individually formed clusters of TRPs.

The one6G Open Lecture 8 will feature three top-class speakers who will present and discuss important results, new possibilities, and open questions regarding the standardization and commercialization of this new technology.
