This paper explores the massive multiple-input multiple-output (Ma-MIMO) communication system possessing large number of antennas at the basestation (BS) serving multiple user terminal (UT) in single cell configuration. Due the large number of antennas at the BS, the RF chains used is also increasing with the increase in the total power consumption of the system such as circuit power consumption, filter, mixer and digital to analog converter power consumption. The main aim of this paper is to reduce the transmit power consumption with the proposed antenna selection and power allocation approach. Initially, the equal power is allocated to users to find the optimal number of antenna selection. Then for the number of antennas selected the optimal power allocation is derived to users. An algorithm is proposed to iteratively find the antenna selection and power allocation. The simulation is done to evaluate the average data rate and to find the optimal transmit power of the system.
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.
