Study Notes
Massive MIMO
- The capacity of a cellular network increases without bound as the number of antennas increases.
- Massive MIMO improves spectral efficiency through spatial multiplexing of a large number of user equipment's per cell.
- A large number of antennas create more spatial data streams, increasing throughput and multiplexing gain, leading to high spectral efficiency.
Benefits of Massive MIMO
- As the number of transmit antennas increases, the transmit power is significantly reduced.
- The power per antenna is inversely proportional to the number of transmit antennas.
- A large number of antennas eliminates interference effects, fast fading, uncorrelated noise, and thermal noise, simplifying signal processing.
What is Massive MIMO?
- Massive MIMO is a scaled-up version of conventional small-scale MIMO systems.
- It employs a large number of antenna elements to serve multiple users simultaneously, with flexibility to choose which users to schedule for reception at any given time.
- The most common massive MIMO concept assumes a single antenna per user terminal and a significantly larger number of antennas at the base station (BS) than the number of served users.
Why Massive MIMO?
- Massive MIMO relies on increasing spatial multiplexing gain and diversity gain by adding antennas at the BS to serve users with relatively simple signal processing.
- Massive MIMO increases diversity gain, providing link robustness and resisting fading.
