Abstract
In recent years, advances in wireless local area network (WLAN) systems have led to large increases in the transmission speed. The IEEE 802.11ac standard allows for very high transmissions by using multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) techniques in the physical (PHY) layer. However, the transmission efficiency is decreased by the channel state information (CSI) estimation algorithm in the medium access control (MAC) sub-layer. Massive MIMO transmission has attracted attention as a new technology for wireless communication in 5th-generation mobile communication systems (5G). We propose a novel access control scheme for multi-beam massive MIMO technology called overhead-less access control. The proposed scheme allows random access control without CSI estimation for massive MIMO technology. Thus, it greatly reduces the overhead of the MAC sub-layer and improves the transmission efficiency. The proposed scheme can be used to control new massive MIMO systems. We evaluated our proposed overhead-less access control scheme for multi-beam massive MIMO transmission in WLAN systems.
