| Abstract | Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a rising technology that uses a huge num-ber of antennas and is envisioned to provide large network capabilities. This has made mas-sive MEMO a very hot topic of research in wireless communication in recent years. Neverthe-less, higher numbers of antennas require higher numbers of radio-frequency (RF) elements which significantly increase the cost and hardware complexities. Antenna selection is a so-lution for reducing RF chains; however, optimal antenna selection is a challenge. This paper proposes a low complexity method for joint selection of the best subset of transmit antenna and beamforming. Another important parameter to be considered for massive MEMO is en¬ergy efficiency. Hence, we present a way of joint antenna selection and beamforming with maximal energy efficiency. In addition, we also show which beamforming schemes is the best and performs closest to the optimal beamforming in massive MEMO. |
