| Summary: | MIMO is a technology that utilizes multiple
antennas at transmitter/receiver to improve the throughput,
capacity and coverage of wireless system. Massive MIMO
where Base Station is equipped with orders of magnitude
more antennas have shown over 10 times spectral efficiency
increase over MIMO with simpler signal processing
algorithms. Massive MIMO has benefits of enhanced
capacity, spectral and energy efficiency and it can be built by using low cost and low power components. Despite its
potential benefits, this paper also summarizes some
challenges faced by massive MIMO such as antenna spatial
correlation and mutual coupling as well as non-linear
hardware impairments. These challenges encountered in
massive MIMO uncover new problems that need further
investigation. |
