This paper deals with the most recent technology in wireless communication which is massive multiple input multiple output system. The paper studies the performance of massive multiple input multiple output uplink system over Rayleigh fading channel. The performance is measured in terms of spectral and energy efficiency using three schemes of linear detection, maximum-ratio-combining, zero forcing receiver, and minimum mean-square error receiver. The simulation results show that the spectral and energy efficiency increases with increasing the number of base station antennas. Also, the spectral and energy efficiency with minimum mean-square error receiver is better than that withzero forcing receiver, and the latter is better than that with maximum-ratio-combining. Furthermore, the energy efficiency decreases with increasing the spectral efficiency.

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is an attractive air interface solution which is used in the 4 th generation wireless networks to achieve higher data rate. With a very large antenna array in Massive MIMO the capacity will increase drastically. In this paper channel capacity comparison for MIMO using known Channel State Information (CSI) and unknown CSI has been carried out for a higher number of antennas at transmitter and receiver side. It has shown that at lower SNR known CSI will give better performance compared to unknown CSI. At higher SNR known CSI and unknown CSI will provide similar results. Capacity comparison has been evaluated with help of MATLAB for known CSI and unknown CSI from a small number of antennas to hundred of antennas. Also, the performance evaluated with MATLAB simulation of linear detectors zero-forcing (ZF) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) method for large number of antennas at Base station (BS) which are serving a small number of single antenna users. Performance is evaluated in terms of Symbol Error Rate (SER) for ZF and MRC, and results show that ZF will outperform MRC. It has also been analyzed that increasing the antennas at BS for a small number of users will also help to reduce SER.

Background: The paper considers the wireless system with large number of users (more than 50 users) and each user is assigned large number of antennas (around 200) at the Base Station (BS). Objective: The challenges associated with the defined system are increased power consumption and high complexity of associated circuitry. The antenna selection is introduced to combat these problems while the usage of linear precoding reduces computational complexity. The literature suggests number of antenna selection techniques based on statistical properties of signal. However, each antenna selection technique suits well to specific number of users. Methods: In this paper, the random antenna selection is compared with norm-based antenna selection. It is analysed that the random antenna selection leads to inefficient spectral efficiency if the number of users are more than 50 in Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) system. Results: The paper proposes the optimization of Energy-Efficiency (EE) with random transmit antenna selection for large number of users in MU-MIMO systems. Conclusion: Also the computation leads to optimization of number of transmit antennas at the BS for energy efficiency. The proposed algorithm results in improvement of the energy efficiency by 27% for more than 50 users.
