The current evolution towards a massive number of antennas and a large variety of transceiver architectures forces to revisit the conventional techniques used to improve the fundamental power amplifier (PA) linearity-efficiency trade-off.

In the four user-case, for a fixed sum rate, the total consumed power (PA and processing) of the GNN precoder is 3. 24 and 1. 44 times lower compared to ZF and ZF plus DPD respectively.

We study cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output precoders that minimize the power consumed by the power amplifiers subject to per-user per-subcarrier rate constraints.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) precoders are typically designed by minimizing the transmit power subject to a quality-of-service (QoS) constraint.

When considering the overall BS power consumption and a large number of subcarriers, we show that significant savings are achievable in the low-load regime by using a subset of the BS antennas.

In contrast to the grant-based scheme, a grant-free approach uses user-specific preambles and has a small overhead, at the expense of more complexity at access points.

In this work, a linear precoder is proposed that allows working close to saturation while canceling the coherent combining of the third order nonlinear \gls{pa} distortion at the user location.

As a comparison with a central massive MIMO system, having the same total number of antennas, the distortion in distributed massive MIMO is considerably more uniformly distributed in space.

Our results suggest that i) among the three factors, the array radiation pattern of each AP is the most important one in determining the optimal AP placement for the D-mMIMO; ii) the performance of the D-mMIMO is highly impacted by the placement and array radiation pattern of each AP, the D-mMIMO with unoptimized placement may perform even worse than the CAS with massive MIMO (C-mMIMO); iii) with the consideration of patch antennas and the mutual coupling effect, the optimized D-mMIMO can potentially save more than 7 dB transmit power compared to the C-mMIMO.

Estimating downlink (DL) channel state information (CSI) in frequency division duplex (FDD) massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems generally requires downlink pilots and feedback overheads.
