Outline • Introduction • The Potential of Massive MIMO • Limiting Factors Of Massive MIMO • Research Problems
Introduction • Global exponential mobile data traffic increase • More devices, higher bit rates • Larger variety of traffic types Massive MIMO
Introduction M antennas (hundreds) K terminals • Large-Scale Antenna Systems • Very Large MIMO • Hyper MIMO • Full-Dimension MIMO • ARGOS • active terminals • time division duplex operation. • Massive multiuser MIMO (MISO) • (e.g. )
The Potential of Massive MIMO • Increase the capacity & radiated energy-efficiency
The Potential of Massive MIMO • Simulation Parameters • 400 uniformly distributed scatterers • λ: signal wavelength • MRT precoder is used • Multipath component • Large-scale + small-scale considered • Path-loss + Rayleigh fading • Conclusion from simulation results • Field strength can be focused to a point • More antennas improve the ability to focus energy to a certain point M=10 100, Improved ability to focus energy to a certain point
The Potential of Massive MIMO • Uncorrelated interference and noise vanish • : small scale fading • ; zero mean;i.i.d • : path loss + shadowing
The Potential of Massive MIMO • Matched-Filter
The Potential of Massive MIMO • inexpensive, low-power components • 50 Watt milli-Watt range • a significant reduction of latency • avoid fading dips • simplifies the multiple-access layer • whole bandwidth, most of the physical-layer control signaling redundant • increases the robustness • scarcity of bandwidth->use multiple antennas • offers many excess degrees of freedom (M-K), cancel signals from jammers.
Limiting Factors Of Massive MIMO • Pilot Contamination • re-using pilots During the training phase, the base station in cell 1 overhears the pilot transmission from other cells. The transmitted vector from base station 1 will be partially beamformedto the terminals in cell 2.
Limiting Factors Of Massive MIMO • How to deal with pilot contamination? • The allocation of pilot waveforms can be optimized. • frequency re-use : pushes mutually-contaminating cells farther apart • coordinate the use of pilots or adaptively allocate pilot sequences to the different terminals in the network • Clever channel estimation algorithms including the use of pilots • most promising direction: jointly estimate the channels and the payload data • New precoding techniques that take into account the network structure. • e.g. Pilot contamination precoding Ashikhmin A, Marzetta T. Pilot contamination precoding in multi-cell large scale antenna systems[C]//Information Theory Proceedings (ISIT), 2012 IEEE International Symposium on. IEEE, 2012: 1137-1141.
Limiting Factors Of Massive MIMO • Channel Reciprocity • TDD operation relies on channel reciprocity. • The hardware chains in the base station and terminal transceivers may not be reciprocal between the uplink and the downlink.
Research Problems • The challenge of low-cost hardware. • require economy of scale in manufacturing • low-cost components->hardware imperfections are larger • phase noise • Internal power consumption. • total power consumed must be considered, the cost of baseband signal processing • Channel characterization. • additional properties of the channel to consider • Pilot contamination.
