  1. Massive MIMO aims to build wireless base stations with hundreds of coherently operating antennas serving tens of single antenna users in order to improve both the transmission capacity by a factor 10-50 and the energy-efficiency trade-off by up to a thousand times. Pre-coding at the base station has been proposed to efficiently implement digital beamforming. It implies a high signal dynamic range and therefore a power backoff resulting in less energy-efficiency. One-bit quantized Zero-Forcing precoding has been proposed to efficiently handle the RF front-end when the array is implemented with so many antennas. In this paper, we analyze the energy-efficiency of the quantized Zero-Forcing precoded systems for a large number of users and a massive MIMO base station.
