“…We model the channel between the kth UL UE of the lth cell and the nth DL UE of l th cell as g lk,l n ∼ CN (0, lk,l n ). In the channel estimation phase, we assume that all the UL and DL UEs synchronously transmit orthogonal pilots for channel estimation [25], [27]. The UL and the DL estimated channels fu,jlk and fd,jlk of f u,jlk and f d,jlk , respectively, can be expressed as f x,jlk = fx,jlk + fx,jlk , x ∈ u, d, with fx,jlk being the estimation error vector, consisting of i.i.d.…”
