Massive MIMO is an extension of traditional MIMO with the exception that the BSs in massive MIMO are equipped with large number of antennas, usually hundred or more. This large number of antennas provide several positive advantages towards wireless communication with respect to increasing volume of data traffic. Each antenna is capable of serving multiple users simultaneously leading to reduction in power consumption as well as data rate amplification. Additionally, narrow and more focused beams are pointed to individual user devices located at the cell edge thereby upgrading of downlink signal quality. Using massive MIMO technique also increases reliability of the links, reduces noise effects, and mitigates and interference. With increasing number of users gets service, the throughput of the system also increases.
