MASSIVE MIMO CHANNEL MODEL RESEARCH AND SIMULATION
Motivation and Background
Motivation
The foremost determination of this unit of the paper is to focus on the motivation of
wireless communication services around the world. To understand the inspiration of the
incorporation of these wireless communications service, the challenges and the issues related
to wireless communications needs to be understood so that its effectiveness can be
determined. There are different types of complexities in the mode of transmission between
the mobile station servers to the base station. The complexity in the mode of transmission is
the presence of the scatters. The different objects or the scatters which have the ability to
block the paths include a tree or a building (Zhang et al. 2015). They can deflect the deceived
wireless signals which can block the signal transmission. There are different categories of
signal propagation in the base stations which is the other type of challenge faced by wireless
communications. The different categories of propagation which are there in the base stations
are Non Line Of Sight (NLOS) and the other one is the Line Of Sight (LOS). Radio waves
are the other important aspect of wireless communications, these radio waves are a source of
concern for wireless communications as it have the capability to either attune or enhance the
communication signals.
To minimize the challenges related to the communication channels, there are few risk
mitigating steps such as the multipath fating, shadow fating and efficient designing of the
channel impulse response (Cheng et al. 2014). The intelligent terminals which are common in
most of wireless devices nowadays can minimize these challenges to a significant extent. The
increasing demands and requirements of the end users are resulting in the development of
new wireless technologies such as the 5th generation wireless technology; it is supposed to
provide more efficient services to the end users.

Wireless Communication
This unit of the paper will be focussing on the different aspects of wireless
communications which can be defined as the type of process by which data or information is
sent from one device to another involving a sender and a receiver in the form of data packets.
Wireless communication involves signal processing through a medium or a channel with the
help of a transmitter and a process termed as modulation and demodulation (Gao et al. 2015).
The binary sequence are modulated into complex sentences before the transmission of
the channel in order to accommodate wireless channel transmission with the help of a
process known as the modulation process.
Massive MIMO
The extensive development in the field of telecommunication industry has resulted in
the development of technology research such as the MIMO technology; it is the application
of the transmission of the signals with the help of the antennas (Kela et al. 2016). The quality
