Abstract A new random access scheme is proposed to solve the intra‐cell pilot collision for M2M communication in crowded asynchronous massive multiple‐input multiple‐output systems. The proposed scheme utilizes the proposed estimation method of signal parameters to estimate the effective timing offsets, and then active user equipments obtain their timing errors from the effective timing offsets for uplink message transmission. The mean squared error of the estimated effective timing offsets of user equipments and the uplink throughput are analysed. Simulation results show that, compared to the exiting random access scheme for the crowded asynchronous massive multiple‐input multiple‐output systems, the proposed scheme can improve the uplink throughput and estimate the effective timing offsets accurately at the same time.
