Abstract
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where the base station (BS) is equipped with a large number of antennas and the mobile devices have a single antenna, can significantly enhance the system performance. In many wireless systems inter symbol interference (ISI) due to delay dispersion of the channel can dramatically affect the demodulation process of the received signals. Precoding in massive MIMO can reduce or eliminate ISI, while still exploiting the spatial diversity. In this paper, we investigate how much standard linear precoders help the ISI mitigation by shortening the rms delay spread. In order to evaluate the system performance, we measured a massive MIMO channel with 128 antennas at the base station and 36 users, including 26 line-of-sight and 10 non line-of-sight, each equipped with a single antenna. We also compare the results from the measurements with an independent identically distributed Gaussian channel with an exponentially decaying average power delay profile.

Channel Hardening in Massive MIMO-A Measurement Based Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, channel hardening in massive MIMO systems is assessed based on analysis of measurement data, and it is shown that in a real scenario, a channel hardness of 3.2-4.6 dB, measured as a reduction of the standard deviation of the channel gain, can be expected depending on the amount of user interaction.

Energy-Efficient and Low-Complexity Uplink Transceiver for Massive Spatial Modulation MIMO

TL;DR: A low-complexity generalized approximate message passing detector (GAMPD) is constructed, which can exploit both the sparsity and prior probability distribution of the transmitted signal and is suitable for hardware implementation because its most complex operation is only matrix-vector multiplication.

Massive MIMO for next generation wireless systems

TL;DR: While massive MIMO renders many traditional research problems irrelevant, it uncovers entirely new problems that urgently need attention: the challenge of making many low-cost low-precision components that work effectively together, acquisition and synchronization for newly joined terminals, the exploitation of extra degrees of freedom provided by the excess of service antennas, reducing internal power consumption to achieve total energy efficiency reductions, and finding new deployment scenarios.
