Abstract
This paper proposes over-the-air fronthaul signaling techniques for uplink cell-free massive MIMO systems to reduce the fronthaul burden while maintaining system performance. The proposed approach enables efficient distributed processing by leveraging the wireless medium for fronthaul communication.
