Abstract
The concept of deploying multiple antenna arrays in the base station (i.e. massive MIMO) among other technologies, such as millimeter wave communication and network densification, that it is one of the key enabling methods in the design and development of future cellular networks. Massive MIMO is a disruptive technology; it is considered as a cornerstone in the design of future cellular networks. In this paper, we investigate the benefits of massive MIMO in terms of capacity and energy efficiency. Performance evaluation of massive MIMO is also presented with respect to spectral efficiency and energy efficiency. Moreover, the major challenges for practical deployment of massive MIMO are discussed in details.
