Critical Issues with Network MIMOOut-of-cell interference
When included, results are not as good
Feedback overhead

Performance seriously degrades
Control channel overhead
Increased reference signal overhead
Backhaul link constraints
Backhaul link latency (delayed CSI and data sharing)
Cluster edge effects
Coordination still has a cell edge with fixed clusters

What is Massive MIMO?
A very large antenna array at each base station
An order of magnitude more antenna elements in conventional systems
A large number of users are served simultaneouslyAn excess of base station (BS) antennas
13
Essentially multiuser MIMO with lots of base station antennas
hundreds of BS antennas
tens of users

Critical Issues in Massive MIMO
Gains are not that big with not-so-many antennas
Require many antennas to remove interference
Need more coordination to remove effects of pilot contamination
Massive MIMO seems to be more “uplink driven”
Certain important roles are reserved between base stations and usersA different layout of control and data channels may be required
Practical effects are not well investigated
Channel aging affects energy-focusing ability of narrow beams
Spatial correlation reduces effective DoFs as increasing number of antennasRole of asynchronism in pilot contamination and resulting performance

Massive MIMO Conclusions
Observations
Pilot contamination is a big deal, but possibly overcome by coordination
Performance is sensitive to channel aging effects *
Good performance can be achieved with distributed antennas *
Not clear how to pack so many microwave antennas on a base station
Needs more extensive simulation study with realistic system parameters
Forecast
Massive MIMO will probably not be used in isolation
Will be combined with distributed antennas or base station coordination
• Reduces the effects of pilot contamination
• Work with smaller numbers of antennas

Performance in complex propagation environments
Evaluate performance with line-of-sight and blocked signal paths
