大规模MIMO的天线数量:1.9 GHz与60 GHz

Antenna Count for Massive MIMO: 1.9 GHz versus 60 GHz

Erik G. Larsson, Thomas L. Marzetta, Hien Quoc Ngo, Hong Yang

摘要:

如果我们假设基站处的视线传播和完美的信道状态信息-与缓慢移动的终端一致-那么PCS和mmWave频段的单小区Massive MIMO之间的直接性能比较是直接的和高度启发性的。视线传播被认为有利于毫米波,因为最小的衰减,以及它的促进混合波束成形,以减少所需的有源收发器的数量。我们量化了毫米波(60 GHz)服务天线的数量,这些天线需要复制指定数量的PCS(1.9 GHz)服务天线的性能。作为一个基线,我们考虑一个适度的PCS部署128天线服务18个终端。我们发现,为了实现相同的每终端最大-最小95%可能的下行链路吞吐量,需要10000毫米波天线。为了匹配PCS阵列的总天线面积,将需要128000个半波长毫米波天线,但是减少得多的数量是足够的,因为大量的天线也赋予更大的信道正交性。毫米波技术的主要好处--大量廉价的频谱--至少部分地被可能笨重的硬件数量的复杂性所抵消。

英文摘要:

If we assume line-of-sight propagation and perfect channel state information at the base station -- consistent with slow moving terminals -- then a direct performance comparison between single-cell Massive MIMO at PCS and mmWave frequency bands is straightforward and highly illuminating. Line-of-sight propagation is considered favorable for mmWave because of minimal attenuation, and its facilitation of hybrid beamforming to reduce the required number of active transceivers. We quantify the number of mmWave (60 GHz) service antennas that are needed to duplicate the performance of a specified number of PCS (1.9 GHz) service antennas. As a baseline we consider a modest PCS deployment of 128 antennas serving 18 terminals. We find that, to achieve the same per-terminal max-min 95%-likely downlink throughput, 10000 mmWave antennas are needed. To match the total antenna area of the PCS array would require 128000 half-wavelength mmWave antennas, but a much reduced number is adequate because the large number of antennas also confers greater channel orthogonality. The principal alleged benefit of mmWave technology--vast amounts of inexpensive spectrum--is at least partially offset by the complexity of possibly unwieldy amounts of hardware.
