PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF AREA SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY OF MASSIVE MIMO CELLULAR SYSTEM

Abstract

In the wireless world, 5G is one of the emerging technologies. Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology
used in 5G wireless communication where high frequency signals are used. Massive MIMO is an antenna array system using
massive amount of antennas. Extra antennas help by focusing the transmission and reception of signal energy into ever-smaller
regions of space. Though many techniques are used for 5G, massive MIMO gives good performance measures. Spectral
Efficiency has been an important performance measure for mobile cellular systems. This work concentrates on area spectral
efficiency (ASE) for uplink multi-cell multi-user massive MIMO systems by using a uniformly distributed user location model.
This work presents the analysis of area spectral efficiency and some system parameters such as the number of base station
antennas, the number of users and pilot-to-data power ratio of the massive MIMO cellular system. The area spectral efficiency is
achieved for different path loss models and by considering different SNR values.
