Abstract
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a profitable technique to greatly boost spectral efficiency, which has been embraced by the fifth-generation (5G) and sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication systems. By exploiting appropriate downlink precoding algorithms, base stations (BSs) equipped with a large number of antennas are able to provide service to multiple users as well as several cells at the same time and frequency. However, the mutual coupling effect due to the compact antenna array gives misleading results in massive MIMO communication systems. In this paper, we focus on the mutual coupling effect for massive MIMO systems with maximal ratio transmission (MRT), zero-forcing (ZF), regularize ZF (RZF), and minimum mean square error (MMSE) precoding to solve the mutual coupling problem. Additionally, we construct the closed-form expressions of the spectral efficiency (SE) to evaluate the effect of mutual coupling on system performance. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed mutual coupling effect assessment method and demonstrate the significant impacts of mutual coupling on massive MIMO system performance.
