Correction to: Channel estimation for massive MIMO TDD systems assuming pilot contamination and flat fading

In the original publication [1] were several parts incorrect. The corrected versions can be found below. The original article has been updated to rectify these errors.

Equation 3:

Equation 4:

Paragraph under Proposed Channel Estimator:

The proposed estimator for _ik makes the acquisition of inter-cell large-scale fading coefficients unnecessary. The task of gaining knowledge of those coefficients may be unjustifiable in practice due to the excessive, e.g., in case there are L cells serving K users in each one of them, each BS needs to acquire (L – 1)K inter-cell large-scale coefficients.
