METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT SIGNAL TRANSMISSION IN MASSIVE MULTI-ANTENNA WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for selecting a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) mode based on energy efficiency and selecting an antenna subset to be used in a communication, in a wireless communication system using a multi-user massive multi-antenna is provided. The method selects an antenna subset capable of minimizing transmission power without using all antennas, based on power consumed by an Radio Frequency (RF) circuit as well as the transmission power. The method further includes selecting a mobile station to which the signal is to be transmitted, selecting a multi-antenna technique based on power consumption of all antennas, selecting an antenna subset to transmit the signal to the mobile station among all the antennas, and transmitting the signal to the mobile station by using the antenna subset.

1. A method for transmitting a signal by a base station in wireless communication, the method comprising:
determining a number of mobile stations to which the signal is transmitted in one resource block; determining a required transmission power for transmitting the signal to each mobile station by using a single antenna; selecting at least one mobile station to which the signal is transmitted for each resource block based on the number of mobile stations and based on the required transmission power; and transmitting the signal to the at least one mobile station.
