Energy Efficient Extreme MIMO: Design Goals and Directions

Ever since the invention of Bell Laboratories Layer Space-Time (BLAST) in mid 1990s, focus MIMO research and development has been largely on pushing limit spectral efficiency. While massive technologies laid foundation high spectrum efficiency 5G beyond, challenge remains improving energy given increasing complexity associated radio systems. With substantial negative implications climate change looming ever closer, minimizing use is a key dimension achieving sustainability paramount importance for any future technology. Thus, every aspect extreme system design, implementation, operation will be scrutinized to maximize An analysis consumption at different loads leads qualitative design goals emerging Following this, we novel operational component technology innovations minimize consumption.
