Microwave Massive MIMO vs mmWave MIMO-Difference between Microwave Massive MIMO and mmWave MIMO
This page compares Microwave Massive MIMO vs mmWave MIMO and mentions difference between Microwave Massive MIMO (M-MIMO) and mmWave (Millimeter wave) MIMO.
Specifications | Microwave Massive MIMO | mmWave MIMO |
---|---|---|
Bandwidth | 20 to 50 MHz | > 500 MHz |
Number of antennas at Base Station(BS) | 32 to 64 | 64 to 256 |
Number of antennas at Mobile Station (MS) | 1 to 4 | 4 to 12 |
Beamforming type | Digital | Analog |
Number of users supported | About 10 | About 4 |
Cell size | Micro or Macro | Pico |
Small scale fading | More AS and clusters, correlated with higher rank | Fewer AS and clusters, correlated with lower rank esp. in LOS |
Large scale fading | distant dependent pathloss, shadowing | distant dependent with random blockage model |
Penetration Loss | Some | Usually Higher |
Channel Sparsity | Less | More |
Spatial correlation | Less | More |
Orientation | Less | More |
