Abstract
With the massive propagation of the mobile phone traffic and demand for high data rate transmission has grown this day, the current cellular spectrum for bands less than 3 GHz is severely deficient and cannot convoy these requirements, which requires the search for suitable solutions for the application of the fifth generation 5G. The potential of millimetre-wave (mm-wave) to provide a high data rate (Gigabits per second) has attracted great interest to become a broadband candidate for the fifth generation of cellular communications networks. To increase the spectral efficiency of cellular networks, Massive multi-input multi output (MMIMO) is considered one of the most promising methods, by equipping the base station with antenna arrays with hundreds or thousands of active elements with the use of beamforming technology and conducting coherent processing on both sides of the transmitter and receiver. In this paper, two mm-wave frequencies(28GHz and 73GHz) have been compared in terms of spectrum efficiency using a massive MIMO using two beamforming methods: conjugate beamforming (CB) and zero-forcing (ZF).
