Task identification in Massive MIMO Technology for Its Effective Implementation in 5G and Satellite Communication

Abstract

Due to the large number of users, wireless communication is finding restriction to provide adequate bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS). It is expected that the demand will be fulfilled by 5G technology. There is also a large data rate requirement for satellite communication. Today cellular technology fails to deliver this data rate due to their LOS requirement and also increased number of cells. The solution to this can be to use Milli-metric wave communication and Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). MIMO with multiple transmit and receive antenna can ensure spectrum efficiency (SE) and data reliability by using space multiplexing and spectral diversity. MIMO with the help of beam-forming antenna and channel state information (CSI) can provide energy efficiency (EE) also. Similar concepts can be extended to satellite communication. This paper has identified the tasks related to the implementation of MIMO and also suggested prototype set up for their evaluation.
