Cell-Free Massive Multiple-Input–Multiple-Output (CF-MIMO) systems have transformed the landscape of wireless communication, offering unparalleled enhancements in Spectral Efficiency and interference mitigation. Nevertheless, the large-scale deployment of CF-MIMO presents significant challenges in processing signals in a scalable manner. This study introduces an innovative methodology that leverages the capabilities of Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) to tackle the complexities of Channel Estimation in CF-MIMO wireless systems. By extracting dynamic modes from a vast array of received signal snapshots, DMD reveals the evolving characteristics of the wireless channel across both time and space, thereby promising substantial improvements in the accuracy and adaptability of channel state information (CSI). The efficacy of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through comprehensive simulations, which emphasize its superior performance in highly mobile environments. For performance evaluation, the most common techniques have been employed, comparing the proposed algorithms with traditional methods such as MMSE (Minimum Mean Squared Error), MRC (Maximum Ration Combining), and ZF (Zero Forcing). The evaluation metrics used are standard in the field, namely the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) and the average UL/DL Spectral Efficiency. Furthermore, the study investigates the impact of DMD-enabled Channel Estimation on system performance, including beamforming strategies, spatial multiplexing within realistic time- and delay-correlated channels, and overall system capacity. This work underscores the transformative potential of incorporating DMD into massive MIMO wireless systems, advancing communication reliability and capacity in increasingly dynamic and dense wireless environments.
