Max-Min Fairness for Uplink Massive MIMO Systems with Low-Resolution ADC

In order to ensure uniformly good service for uplink massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with low-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC), in this paper, a max-min fairness power allocation algorithm is proposed. The uplink spectral efficiency expression is first derived, and we convert the original optimization problem into a standard geometric programming (GP). Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee the egalitarianism to all users.
