    The pilot contamination is a serious problem which hinders the capacity increasing in the massive MIMO system. Similar to Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) in the OFDMA system, Fractional Pilot Reuse (FPR) is proposed for the massive MIMO system. The FPR can be further classified as the strict FPR and soft FPR. Meanwhile, the detailed FPR schemes with pilot assignment and the mathematical models are provided. With FPR, the capacity and the transmission quality can be improved with metrics such as the higher Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) of the pilots, the higher coverage probability, and the higher system capacity.

    In this paper, we present a transmission scheme for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) quasi-static fading channel with imperfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). In this scheme, we develop a precoder structure to exploit the available CSIT and apply spatial coupling for further performance enhancement. We derive an analytical evaluation method based on extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) functions, which provides convenience for our precoder design. Furthermore, we observe an area property indicating that, for a spatially coupled system, the iterative receiver can perform error-free decoding even the original uncoupled system has multiple fixed points in its EXIT chart. This observation implies that spatial coupling is useful to alleviate the uncertainty in CSIT which causes difficulty in designing LDPC code based on the EXIT curve matching technique. Numerical results are presented, showing an excellent performance of the proposed scheme in MIMO fading channels with imperfect CSIT.

    Sequence set with Three Zero Correlation Zones (T-ZCZ) can efficiently mitigate the Multiple Access Interference (MAI) and Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) caused by multi-path in CDMA system. In this paper, an algorithm for generating T-ZCZ sequence set is presented. Moreover, in order to study the restrictions among the parameters such as the length of the sequence, the number of the sequences and the length of the T-ZCZ etc., the corresponding theoretical bound is investigated and proved. Additionally, the performance of T-ZCZ sequence in MC-CDMA system is evaluated to confirm the capability of interference cancellation as well as system capacity improvement.
