Multimedia over massive MIMO wireless systems

To satisfy the massive wireless traffic transmission generated by multimedia applications, the massive multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) wireless system has emerged as a possible solution for future 5G wireless communication systems. However, the mutual coupling effect of massive MIMO systems has a negative effect potential on the wireless capacity. In this paper, the receive diversity gain is first defined and analyzed for massive MIMO wireless systems. Furthermore, we propose an effective capacity with the mutual coupling effect and the quality of service (QoS) statistical exponent constraint for multimedia massive MIMO wireless systems. Based on numerical results, the effective capacity approaches the effective capacity with the antenna spacing of d = 0.5λ when the antenna spacing is increased in the massive MIMO antenna array
