Abstract:
A central node of a Massive Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system includes a processor and a transceiver. The processor is configured to determine a number of active antennas to be used to serve users in at least one cell of the Massive MIMO system based on wireless network parameters for the Massive MIMO system. The transceiver is configured to transmit the determined number of active antennas to a Massive MIMO base station in the at least one cell.
