用机器学习预测大规模天线非线性干扰，提升用户吞吐量12%。

M-MIMO is one of the crucial technologies for increasing spectral and energy efficiency of wireless networks. Most of the current works assume that M-MIMO arrays are equipped with a linear front end. However, ongoing efforts to make wireless networks more energy-efficient push the hardware to the limits, where its nonlinear behavior appears. This is especially a common problem for the multicarrier systems, e.g., OFDM used in 4G, 5G, and possibly also in 6G, which is characterized by a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio. While the impact of a nonlinear Power Amplifier (PA) on an OFDM signal is well characterized, it is a relatively new topic for the M-MIMO OFDM systems. Most of the recent works either neglect nonlinear effects or utilize simplified models proper for Rayleigh or LoS radio channel models. In this paper, we first theoretically characterize the nonlinear distortion in the M-MIMO system under commonly used radio channel models. Then, utilizing 3D-Ray Tracing (3D-RT) software, we demonstrate that these models are not very accurate. Instead, we propose two models: a statistical one and an ML-based one using 3D-RT results. The proposed statistical model utilizes the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution to model Signal to Distortion Ratio (SDR) for victim users, receiving nonlinear distortion, e.g., as interference from neighboring cells. The proposed ML model aims to predict SDR for a scheduled user (receiving nonlinear distortion along with the desired signal), based on the spatial characteristics of the radio channel and the operation point of each PA feeding at the M-MIMO antenna array. The predicted SDR can then be used to perform PA-aware per-user power allocation. The results show about 12% median gain in user throughput achieved by the proposed ML-based power allocation scheme over the state-of-the-art, fixed operating point scheme.
