Fundamentals Of Massive Mimo

Written by pioneers of the concept, this is the first complete guide to the physical and engineering principles of Massive MIMO. Assuming only a basic background in communications and statistical signal processing, it will guide readers through key topics in multi-cell systems such as propagation modeling, multiplexing and de-multiplexing, channel estimation, power control, and performance evaluation. The authors' unique capacity-bounding approach will enable readers to carry out effective system performance analyses and develop advanced Massive MIMO techniques and algorithms. Numerous case studies, as well as problem sets and solutions accompanying the book online, will help readers put knowledge into practice and acquire the skill set needed to design and analyze complex wireless communication systems. Whether you are a graduate student, researcher, or industry professional working in the field of wireless communications, this will be an indispensable guide for years to come.

The last ten years have seen a massive growth in the number of connected wireless devices. Billions of devices are connected and managed by wireless networks. At the same time, each device needs a high throughput to support applications such as voice, real-time video, movies, and games. Demands for wireless throughput and the number of wireless devices will always increase. In addition, there is a growing concern about energy consumption of wireless communication systems. Thus, future wireless systems have to satisfy three main requirements: i) having a high throughput; ii) simultaneously serving many users; and iii) having less energy consumption. Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, where a base station (BS) equipped with very large number of antennas (collocated or distributed) serves many users in the same time-frequency resource, can meet the above requirements, and hence, it is a promising candidate technology for next generations of wireless systems. With massive antenna arrays at the BS, for most propagation environments, the channels become favorable, i.e., the channel vectors between the users and the BS are (nearly) pairwisely orthogonal, and hence, linear processing is nearly optimal. A huge throughput and energy efficiency can be achieved due to the multiplexing gain and the array

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) provides the means for reaching global connectivity that can help humanity progress and prosper. This comes with high demands on data traffic and number of connected devices which are rapidly growing and need to be met by technological development. Massive MIMO, where MIMO stands for multiple-input multiple-output, is envisioned as a fundamental component of next generation wireless communications for its ability to provide high spectral and energy efficiency, SE and EE, respectively. The key feature of this technology is the use of a large number of antennas at the base stations (BS) to spatially multiplex several user equipments (UEs). In the development of new technologies like Massive MIMO, many design alternatives need to be evaluated and compared in order to find the best operating point with a preferable tradeoff between high performance and low cost. In this thesis, two alternative designs for signal processing and hardware in Massive MIMO are studied and compared with the baseline operation in terms of SE, EE, and power consumption. The first design is called superimposed pilot (SP) transmission and is based on superimposing pilot and data symbols to remove the overhead from pilot transmission and reduce

Digitaltechnik ist – mit Ausnahme des geschriebenen Briefs oder des persönlichen Gesprächs – die Basis fast aller Kommunikations- und Informationswege, die wir heute nutzen. Darüber hinaus werden damit die Bereiche gesteuert, die für Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und öffentliches sowie privates Leben essentiell sind: Sicherheit, Produktion, Mobilität, Medien, Gesundheit. Man kann ohne Übertreibung sagen, dass die Digitaltechnik zu einem Fundament unserer technisch orientierten Zivilisation geworden ist. Die Vorteile moderner Datentechnik sind so bestechend, die Optionen für künftige Einsätze so immens, dass wir diese Entwicklung mit aller Energie vorantreiben müssen, um im internationalen Wettbewerb weiterhin eine maßgebliche Rolle spielen zu können. In allen Anwendungsbereichen digitaler Technik spielt dabei die Sicherheit eine entscheidende Rolle. Denn je mehr technologische Bereiche wir der Datentechnik anvertrauen, desto wichtiger wird für uns deren Zuverlässigkeit. Digitale Systeme weiterzuentwickeln und zugleich dafür zu sorgen, dass sie immer im Interesse der Menschen funktionieren und agieren, ist ein zentrales Ziel der technischen Forschung und Entwicklung, wie sie von Fraunhofer propagiert und ausgeführt wird.
