Abstract

This work develops a survey propagation approach to distributed pilot assignment (PA) optimization in cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output networks. The reuse of pilot signals among multiple links incurs the pilot contamination, thereby degrading the system performance. For sustainable management of pilot sequences, the PA operation policy can be formulated in a combinatorial way. To avoid large-scale computational loads, the resulting optimization task is approached in a novel distributed framework of survey propagation, which has been originally developed to address interacting particle systems in physics. A developed algorithm demonstrates outperforming behaviors over existing schemes with respect to the overall network throughput.
