| contents | This paper proposes a novel multiple-access framework, termed the phased ultra massive antenna array (PUMA), which exploits the distinctive spatial flexibility of fluid antenna systems (FAS) at the user equipment (UE). Building upon fluid antenna multiple access (FAMA) and compact ultra-massive antenna array (CUMA), PUMA incorporates a phased array for signal aggregation. This architecture enables the UE to inherently mitigate co-user interference within the spatial domain without necessitating channel state information (CSI) for precoding at the base station (BS) or complex interference cancellation at each UE. A primary advantage of PUMA lies in its hardware efficiency: by implementing phase shifting and signal combining in the analog domain, it achieves high antenna gain while requiring only a minimal number of radio-frequency (RF) chains, potentially a single RF chain. Comprehensive theoretical analysis of the achievable data rate is provided, complemented by extensive simulations that validate the framework. The results demonstrate that PUMA markedly outperforms FAMA and CUMA architectures, particularly for UEs with a single RF chain, offering a robust and scalable solution for interference-insensitive massive connectivity in sixth-generation (6G) systems. |
