Abstract :Massive MIMO will be an enabling technology for the deployment of the 5th generation of wireless systems. In the past three years, this technology has been put under the spotlight. Although there is a lot of research work on this topic, a number of challenges still need to be surpassed before reducing Massive MIMO to practice. In this paper, I studied and explored a cooperative communication scenario using massive MIMO at the base station. Based on the work previously done by the project WINNER and the Vienna LTE Simulator, we generated a propagation channel model and simulated the throughput of the system model using different types of schedulers and transmission modes.
