Energy Efficient Massive MIMO 5G System with ZF Receiver

Abstract

The Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output), one of the leading 5G technologies, has brought efficiency, reliability, and robustness of the communication system. Interference and power consumption are the significant problems for Massive MIMO. The Nakagami-m fading channel carries a characteristic like m diversity order, this order is unique because of having co-channel interference reduction feature. That’s why, in this inspection, Nakagami-m fading channel has been used in massive MIMO system. The massive MIMO has various categories such as co-located MIMO, distributed MIMO and hybrid MIMO depending on its base station. In this research, we have exclusively analysed the performance of these three massive MIMO channels and their energy efficiency. This system seems to be less affected by co-channel interference. The MIMOs have been compared using ZF (Zero Forcing) receiver.
