Beyond 5G technologies promise groundbreaking advances on the performance of cellular networks, by taking advantage of Massive MIMO in mmWave scenarios. The aim of this study is to analyze and test the performance of a 5G cell site equipped with large antenna arrays. It is of particular interest the comparison between the typical trisector cell design with a planar array for each sector, and the less investigated cylindrical array, able to maintain a constant pattern through the whole azimuthal range. To validate our analysis, we adopt the latest 3GPP-compliant 3D channel model and we evaluate the performance of multi-user and multi-layer precoding and combining schemes. Several MIMO configurations are taken into account, and we show that cylindrical arrays can improve the overall system performance, both in terms of achievable per-user rate and outage probability.

Abstract
Beyond 5G technologies promise groundbreaking advances on the performance of cellular networks, by taking advantage of Massive MIMO in mmWave scenarios. The aim of this study is to analyze and test the performance of a 5G cell site equipped with large antenna arrays. It is of particular interest the comparison between the typical trisector cell design with a planar array for each sector, and the less investigated cylindrical array, able to maintain a constant pattern through the whole azimuthal range. To validate our analysis, we adopt the latest 3GPP-compliant 3D channel model and we evaluate the performance of multi-user and multi-layer precoding and combining schemes. Several MIMO configurations are taken into account, and we show that cylindrical arrays can improve the overall system performance, both in terms of achievable per-user rate and outage probability.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
