Abstract

Massive (MIMO) technology is an important and timely topic, which is largely motivated by the requirements of the (5G) or future wireless communications. By offering a large number of (DoF), 5G is capable of simultaneously serving multiple users with high gains and thus improving the system (SE), (EE) and reliability. Different from existing studies in the literature, this book focuses specifically on the state-of-the-art of massive MIMO and its typical applications, such as (mm-wave) communications and wireless energy transfer. In this chapter, we first present the motivations of massive MIMO following a short overview on the requirements and techniques of 5G communications. Then, basic concepts alongside the pros and cons of both MIMO and massive MIMO systems are given. The aim of the monograph is provided at the end of this chapter.
