Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Cell-Free massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO), which cooperatively utilizes a large number of antennas deployed over a wide communication area, has been attracting attention as a key technology for Beyond 5G systems. Previously, we have proposed a user-cluster-centric CF-mMIMO (UCC-CF-mMIMO) which can both ensure the system scalability and improve the system capacity in a high user density environment. UCC-CF-mMIMO performs multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) spatial multiplexing by grouping neighboring users into user clusters and selecting multiple antennas common to all users in each cluster. Inter-cluster interference can be reduced by directly considering the correlation matrix of the MIMO channel between the selected antennas of user-cluster of interest and the users in the interfering clusters in the MU-MIMO pre/postcoding of user cluster of interest. The use of channel correlation matrix makes it possible to form nulls toward interfering users, thereby improving the interference suppression effect, however, the computational complexity of pre/postcoding increases as the number of interfering users increases. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity pre/postcoding in which the channel correlation matrix is directly used for the predominant interfering users, while the sum of other inter-cluster interfering signals is approximated as an equivalent Gaussian noise (therefore, the measurement of interference power is only necessary for other interfering users). The interference reduction and the computational complexity are discussed by evaluating the user link capacities achievable with the conventional and proposed pre/postcoding schemes through computer simulation.
