  • Abstract
    The effect of frequency offsets on the uplink sum-rate performance of massive MIMO systems is studied in the case of flat fading with pilot assisted estimation. Both collocated and distributed antenna architectures are studied to determine if there is a fundamental preference for collocated or distributed architectures from the perspective of frequency synchronization and its effect on the rate performance in a high mobility environment.
