Transmit antenna selection in M-MIMO system using metaheuristic aided model

Massive MIMO (M-MIMO) devices are the key tool to meet the performance stards established for 5G-wireless communication. However, more Radio Frequency (RF) chains needed in base station (BS) with a huge count of transmitting antennas, involve expensive hardware and computing complexities. In order to decrease the RF chains needed in BS, this work intended to use the optimal transmit antenna selection (TAS) strategy. This strategy is gaining a lot of interest since the optimization algorithm aids in the ability to enhance the system performance considerably the efficiency and secrecy rate. This work proposes a novel Coati Adopted Pelican Optimization (CA-PO) for choosing the optimal TA by considering efficiency as well as secrecy rate. In addition, the CA-PO algorithm makes the decision on which antenna to be elected. At last, the supremacy of CA-PO-based TAS is proven from the analysis regarding secrecy rate and EE analysis. Accordingly, the proposed CA-PO method for MF for set up 2 has attained a higher EE of 0.976; whereas, the DMOA, COA, MRFO, POA and BEA techniques have got a relatively lower EE of 0.968.
