Abstract
We present a practical architecture for massive-MIMO
and show early results from a real-world prototype. We
suggest a small modification to 802.11ac to enable implicit
channel sounding, which is critical for the practicality of
massive-MIMO.

Scalability Challenges
1) Acquire CSI
M pilots, then M•K feedback
2) Calculate Weights
O(M•K2), non-parallelizable, centralized data
3) Apply Linear Precoding
O(M•K), then O(M) data transport
