Abstract

This paper presents performance evaluation of massive MIMO system in terms of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and system capacity with respect to increasing number of receive antennas at the base station for a wireless communication between a single transmit antenna of user terminal per time. The analysis performed in MATLAB simulation environment revealed that for M = 128, 256, and 512, the SNR improvement in dB achieved using selective combining (SC) was 7.31, 7.85, and 8.34 respectively, whereas for equal gain combining (EGC) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) the SNRs performance in dB were 19.79 and 20.83, 22.95 and 24, and 25.96 dB, and 27 respectively. Generally, the outcomes of simulations have proven that optimizing the number of receive antenna based on selection by changing the number of antennas at base station (BS) can provide improved SNR and system capacity.
