Objectif In view of the rapid increase in demand for mobile data services, next generation wireless communication systems will haveto provide greatly increased capacity density and high data rates greater than 50Gbps. However, satisfying theserequirements for increasing numbers of users and connected devices, and increasingly bandwidth, processing power andenergy-hungry applications will require a transformation in the way in which current mobile and wireless networks perform.Recently, massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, where each base station (BS) is equipped with a largenumber of antenna elements (typically tens or even hundreds) has emerged as a key enabler to achieve a 1000 times datarate and enormous spectral and energy efficiency. In order for massive MIMO to become a reality, the proposed work aimsto explore transformative methods for the design of innovative techniques in 3 key challenging areas of massive MIMOcommunication systems: (i) fundamental limits; (ii), (ii) transmission strategy; and (iii) caching mechanisms. The solution isachieved with small remote antenna units equipped with compact massive MIMO arrays deployed over certain coverageregions, and developing practical signalling schemes, network coordination, and management protocols.
