Abstract | Large intelligent surface (LIS) is a technology that extends massive MIMO by considering an even greater number of antennas distributed throughout vast areas. In order to be able to implement this technology, it is crucial to consider decentralized architectures so as to make the whole system scalable. We consider a LIS divided into several LIS panels of smaller size, which can be located far away from each other. We present a modular architecture that allows combining different LIS panels using a binary tree. This architecture is also valid in a cell-free massive MIMO scenario. We make use of a newly defined matrix decomposition, the WAX decomposition, to define the modules that are used within our architecture. We also study the lossless dimensionality reduction in the data to be processed, which can be achieved using our proposed architecture. |
