Optimizing Long Term Evolution (LTE) Performance Using Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Technique

Abstract

With the growing demand for high-speed data rate and reliable wireless communications, LTE has become the dominant cellular network technology. However, as the number of connected devices and data-intensive applications continue to increase, there isa need to improve network capacity, spectral efficiency, and overall user experience.This final year project focuses on the implementation and evaluation of Massive MIMO, acutting-edge technology that utilizes a large number of antennas at the eNodeB to servemultiple users simultaneously. It uses beamforming and multi user MIMO to enhance theoverall user experience. The report aims to assess the impact of Massive MIMO on variousperformance metrics of LTE networks, including coverage, capacity, data rates, andinterference management.
