Communication for 5G Wireless using millimeter Waves and massive MIMO Technology

Abstract

Wireless networks have transformed our everyday lives by enabling gadgets to connect, in- teract wirelessly, and access the internet. 5G NR broad-band mobile communication net- works take advantage of the underutilized millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, address- ing the capacity shortage of previous generations. This thesis addresses open research topic on 5G NR technology, focusing on massive MIMO and mmWave communications, its essen- tial characteristics, performance metrics, properties of the mmWave propagation channel, and its primary difficulties and benefits. It covers the fundamentals of 5G NR technology, its use cases, and the fundamentals of MIMO and mmWave communication. It also discusses algorithms and mathematical concepts, including MIMO modes, Spatial Multiplexing, and hybrid beamforming techniques. Simulations are presented to compare the performance of different precoding .
