Recently, a large-scale fading precoding (LSFP) for the wireless massive multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems has been proposed. In this precoding, the channel information of all the cells using re-use pilot sequences is processed jointly, and pilot contamination and interference due to a certain number of antennas are effectively eliminated. Additionally, recent studies have found that research in the asymptotic field can be applied to the wireless large-scale MIMO systems. In the LSFP, pilot contamination and signal interference will be completely eliminated when a number of antennas at a base station tend to be unlimited. In this research found that the LSFP method can eliminate most pilot contamination and interference in practical applications only when the number of antennas of the base station reaches hundreds of orders, which greatly increases the equipment construction cost. On the other hand, channel inversion denotes a multi-user channel modulation technology, where a vector signal generated between a user and a base station is used to form an inverse channel matrix so that the channels of each user are balanced during the transmission. In this paper, the channel inversion technology is used in the LSFP. The improved LSFP can effectively reduce the number of antennas required by the base station without affecting the performance of eliminating the pilot contamination and interference. It is shown that when the number of antennas of a base station tends to be unlimited, the improved LSFP can eliminate pilot contamination and signal interference. The simulation results show that in the same practical scenario, when the base station is equipped with the same number of antennas, the improved method can more effectively improve the anti-contamination and anti-interference performance over conventional LSFP.
