Performance Evaluation of Precoding Schemes for Multi User Massive MIMO System Over Nakagami-m Fading Channel

Nowadays, wireless communication system plays great roles in our daily activities and different improvements are requiring because the number of users increase from time to time. At the same time, users need high throughput and link reliability. The forthcoming generation of wireless communication will have to deal with some core requirements for serving large number of users simultaneously, upholding high throughput for each user, assuring less energy consumption, etc. Inter-user interference has a major impact when a wireless communication link has a large number of users. To maintain a particular desired quality of service, sophisticated transmission mechanisms such as interference cancellation need be implemented. As a result, MU-massive MIMO with extremely huge antenna arrays is recommended. The term "MU-massive MIMO" refers to a system with hundreds or thousands of antennas servicing tens of thousands of customers.Inter-user interference was greatly decreased once the channel vectors were closely orthogonal. As a result, high data rates can be supplied to multiple users at the same time. In this work, researcher investigated performance evaluation of a MU-massive MIMO utilizing different precoding schemes (like, MMSE, ZF, MRT) over nakagami-m fading channel with CSI at base station and users’ terminal. In addition, the researcher analyzed the outcome of pilot reuse factors and shaping (m) parameter.
