In exemplary LSAS (large-scale antenna system) networks, uplink signals are processed to compensate for pilot contamination. Slow-fading coefficients are generated for terminals in the wireless network, and postcoding matrices are generated based on the slow- fading coefficients and terminal transmit power levels. Uplink signals are received from the terminals, and M-dimensional postcoding is performed to generate estimated uplink signals from the received uplink signals, where M is the number of antennas at a base station of the wireless network. The postcoding matrices are applied to the estimated uplink signals to compensate for pilot contamination. The improved technique used to generate postcoding matrices depends on whether the M-dimensional postcoding involves matched filtering or zero forcing. Postcoding matrices generated using improved techniques work better than those generated independent of the terminal transmit power levels by inverting slow-fading coefficient matrices for LSAS networks having intermediate numbers (>10 and <1000) of antennas per base station. |
