Large scale MIMO performance analysis over cascaded α-μ MIMO channel for M2M communication

Large scale multiple-input multiple-output (LS-MIMO) is a relatively new concept which can be used to increase the data rate and throughput of wireless networks. In this paper, performance analysis for LS-MIMO has been carried out for mobile-to-mobile (M2M) communication network over N-α-μ fading channels. The orthogonality condition for LS-MIMO over cascaded independent and identically distributed (iid) α-μ MIMO fading channels has been verified extensively. Using this property, we have analyzed for the first time LS-MIMO M2M communication over cascaded iid α-μ MIMO fading channels. The analytical results have been verified through Monte Carlo simulations.
