摘要：

Massive MIMO is one of the promising techniques to improve the spectral efficiency and network performance in future 5G networks. Compared to FDD, it is relatively easier to realize downlink massive MIMO for TDD as downlink channel information can be obtained via uplink-downlink channel reciprocity. This paper provides our field test results of massive MIMO system with a base station prototype equipped with 64 transmit antennas. Significant throughput gain is observed by performing 3D-beamforming to current LTE-Advanced handsets by using standard-transparent Multiuser(MU) MIMO techniques. With the massive MIMO base station prototype, MU-MIMO is realized by multiplexing maximum of eight handsets in spatial domain considering both azimuth and elevation directions. In addition to the field trial test results, future potential enhancements for TDD massive MIMO system are discussed. Evaluation results of evaluating some enhancements on uplink reference signal are provided.
