Massive MIMO Assisted Aerial-Terrestrial Network: How Many UAVs Need to Be Deployed?

Abstract: The deployment of new airborne small cells in conjunction with an existing network equipped with a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system can be a promising solution to meet the high throughput and coverage needs of future networks. In this study, we present the potential benefits of deploying a large number of antenna elements in downlink vertical heterogeneous cellular networks (VHCNets). The network model consists of a terrestrial base station (TBS) with an array of massive antenna elements and an aer… Show more

“…The reason is that this work focuses on Highrise Urban scenarios, consisting of many ground obstructions. Therefore, traditional air-to-ground channels (e.g., Nakagami fading channels [36,37]) may not be suitable for our considered scenarios. This assumption has been widely used for vehicular communications [38,39].…”

“…The mmWave communications generally operate at 30 GHz–300 GHz with a wavelength of 1 mm–10 mm, which leads to a relatively small physical size of the antennas. This enables the large-scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO) with hundreds of antennas that can meet the high throughput and coverage needs of future networks to be integrated in a limited space for practical applications [ 5 ], and also to compensate for the high path loss of mmWave channels for long-distance communications [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) is one of the key technologies for meeting the constantly growing throughput requirement in modern wireless communication systems. In MIMO systems the transmitter and receiver are equipped with larger number of antennas to increase throughput and ensure higher spectral efficiency [1], [2]. However, these systems pose design challenges including low-complexity optimal signal detection at the receiver with higher number of antenna elements.…”
