Abstract

In order to provide a wide variety of mobile services and applications, the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system has attracted much attention to improve system capacity much more than the 4G system. The drastic improvement is mainly realized by small/semi-macro cell deployment with much wider bandwidth in higher frequency bands. To cope with larger pathloss in the higher frequency bands, Massive MIMO is one of key technologies to acquire beamforming (BF) in addition to spatial multiplexing. This paper introduces 5G Massive MIMO technologies including high-performance hybrid BF and novel digital BF schemes in addition to distributed Massive MIMO concept with flexible antenna deployment. The latest 5G experimental trials using the Massive MIMO technologies are also shown briefly.
