Abstract: This paper proposes a unified channel estimation scheme for multiuser massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems in time-varying environment. In this paper, a new discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based spatial-temporal basis expansion model (ST-BEM) is introduced to mitigate the training overhead and feedback cost by reducing the dimensions of uplink and downlink channel. This model is suitable for both time division duplex (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD) systems. A new greedy user scheduling algorithm is also introduced to improve the Spectral efficiency. Various simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
