Then, we ﬁrst review the multiplexing capacity of deter-

ministic MIMO channels with antenna-space multiplexing. For

antenna-space multiplexing, the capacity for single user with

and k also denotes the number of

spatial degrees of freedom offered by multiple antennas.

With beam-space multiplexing, the received signal vector

at the receiver can be expressed as y = HVs + n, where

V ∈ C

×r

is the optimal beamforming matrix with r beams

such that the spatial multiplexing shifts to beam domain from

antenna domain, and n is the additive noise at the receiver.

When r = 1, it is traditional beamforming. Then, the capacity

is gained. Assuming the effective channel HV has r non-zero

As a result, we can see that the receive SNR can be improved

without extra power consumption while multiplexing gain

could also be achieved by beam-space multiplexing.

B. Comparison of CSI Acquisition Between TDD and FDD

In order to align beam to each spatial data piece of beam-

space multiplexing accurately, CSI should be acquired at

the BS before the transmission. In FDD systems, CSI can

be obtained through reference signal training and quantized

feedback. However, the performance is limited by several non-

ideal factors, such as feedback delay, quantization error, and

imperfect CSI estimation at user side. This will lead to the

engineering implementation challenge due to heavy overhead

of real-time feedback. The limitation becomes extremely se-

vere in 5G, where the number of antennas in the BS is large

and the reference signal symbols are limited. The required

independent reference signal symbols are proportional to the

number of antennas at the BS. The number of available

reference signal symbols is fundamentally limited by the

channel coherence time. Thus, the reference signal symbols

will become insufﬁcient for accurate channel estimation in

FDD systems with large number of antennas at the BS.

Recently, compressed sensing (CS)-based channel estima-

tion methods have been proposed to reduce the reference signal

overhead for FDD massive MIMO systems, e.g., orthogonal

matching pursuit (OMP) and least absolute shrinkage and

selection operator (LASSO) algorithm [9]. It has shown

that the massive MIMO channel usually exhibits abundant

sparsity in certain transformed domains due to limited local

scatters in physical environments. However, there are some

drawbacks for the CS-based algorithms. For example, group

sparsity and other sparse structure in the different domains

are not well exploited. This is because of the limitation of

the solution for the CS optimization problem. To overcome

this problem, a structured compressing sensing (SCS)-based

spatio-temporal joint channel estimation scheme is proposed

to reduce the required pilot overhead, whereby the spatio-

temporal common sparsity of delay-domain MIMO channels

is leveraged. Moreover, the design of non-orthogonal pilot

for CS-based adaptive CSI acquisition for improving channel

estimation performance.

Alternatively, in TDD systems, channel reciprocity property

can be utilized for CSI acquisition. The pilot overhead for CSI

estimation in TDD massive MIMO systems is only propor-

tional to the number of users. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 2,

in contrast to FDD systems, the computational complexity for

CSI estimation in TDD system is relatively much lower [10].

However, strictly synchronization and antenna calibration are

required to guarantee the channel reciprocity. This is because

reciprocity holds only in air channel between the BS and

user side. If the transceiver of BS and users are considered,

downlink and uplink channels are no longer reciprocal. Thus,

in practice, calibration is needed to restore channel reciprocity.

Recently, user-assisted calibration is an enabling technology

for TDD massive MIMO in 5G, which yields fast calibration

processing with low overhead and high calibration accuracy.

It is expected that more efﬁcient calibration algorithms can be

emerged such that the multi-fold gain of massive MIMO in

TDD network can be fully realized.

C. Comparison of Engineering Implementation

We compare the beam-space multiplexing with the tradi-

tional antenna-space multiplexing by considering the prac-

tical engineering implementation constraints. For practical

implementation with antenna-space spatial multiplexing, large-

spaced (i.e., 4 ∼ 10λ) two and four antennas were used

to provide enough decorrelation of multiple antenna signals,
