Q.1 

In multi cell multi user massive MIMO cells, when the number of users in each cell is K, and number of antennas is N, and number of cells is M, how we can take into account the large scale channel gain due to distance and shadowing  when evaluating the cell sum downlink throughput? We have the small scale channel gain H of dimension (kxN) in each cell, I read in some papers that we can use the large scale fading gain as

   G_k=β_ki/(sum  (β_kj ) when(j=1 to M,j≠i))  

where β_ki is the large scale fading channel gain of user K to cell i.

Is it enough to multiply  by H(k,:) ? and use it to estimate the precoding matrix ? can we distribute the RF transmitted power uniformly between the users even if this can be non optimal?

Q.2

In many publications about massive MIMO, why a transmitter power control scheme is used to ensure that all users in the cell have the same target SINR? In my understanding this can degrade the overall sum rate of the cell?
