Massive MIMO has been identified as one of the promising disruptive air
interface techniques to address the huge capacity requirement demanded by 5G
wireless communications. For practical deployment of such systems, the control
message need to be broadcast to all users reliably in the cell using broadbeam.
A broadbeam is expected to have the same radiated power in all directions to
cover users in any place in a cell. In this paper, we will show that there is
no perfect broadbeam. Therefore, we develop a method for generating broadbeam
that can allow tiny fluctuations in radiated power. Overall, this can serve as
an ingredient for practical deployment of the massive MIMO systems
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
