Performance Analysis of Massive MIMO for Maximal Spectral Efficiency

Abstract

Massive MIMO is a promising technique to increase the spectral efficiency (SE) of cellular network, by deploying hundreds or thousands of antennas at the base station (BS) to perform coherence transceiver processing. This research focusing into study, analyze the performance of massive MIMO for maximal spectral efficiency. All this accomplished by using MATLAB software program which simulate the performance of massive MIMO. We used complex signal processing technique to obtain optimal performance, compared between this technique in simulation according to the propagation environment, which divided into three cases. First, the best case in which all UEs in are at the cell edge further from the (BS). Second, the average case, in which averaging over uniform UE locations in all cells. Finally, the worst case in which all UEs in other cells are at the cell edge closest to BS. From result it will be observed that the spectral efficiency dramatically increases while increasing the number of antennas in the (BS). This increased SE give a high throughput.
