Title: Multiuser Massive MIMO for Cellular Systems
Lecturer: Prof. Torbjörn Ekman, Dept of Electronic Systems, NTNU
“Multiuser massive MIMO is communication technology that uses spatial diversity to serve many users simultaneously with high capacity. It is based on having many more antennas in the base station than there is simultaneous user of the system. In this lecture the basic concepts of Massive MIMO are introduced and some intuition in to how the richness of the radio channel combined with large number of antenna elements results in both higher reliability and much higher spectral efficiency.
The Reconfigurable Radio Network Platform (ReRaNP), the Massive MIMO testbed at NTNU, will also be presented.”
