Abstract: Massive Multi-Input and Multi-Output (MIMO)
antenna system potentially provides a promising solution to
improve energy efficiency (EE) for 5G wireless systems. The aim
of this paper is to enhance EE and its limiting factors are
explored. The maximum EE of 48 Mbit/Joule was achieved with
15 user terminal (UT)s. This problem is related to the uplink
spectral efficiency with upper bound for future wireless
networks. The maximal EE is obtained by optimizing a number
of base station (BS) antennas, pilot reuse factor, and BSs
density. We presented a power consumption model by deriving
Shannon capacity calculations with closed-form expressions.
The simulation result highlights the EE maximization with
optimizing variables of circuit power consumption, hardware
impairments, and path-loss exponent. Small cells achieve high
EE and saturate to a constant value with BSs density. The MRC
scheme achieves maximum EE of 36 Mbit/Joule with 12 UTs.
The simulation results show that peak EE is obtained by
deploying massive BS antennas, where the interference and pilot
contamination are mitigated by coherent processing. The
simulation results were implemented by using MATLAB 2018b.

I. INTRODUCTION
Future wireless networks demand high-speed data in a dense
urban environment under an interference scenario. Massive
multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) is the fundamental
solution to achieve high spectral efficiency (SE) and data rate
by deploying more antennas at the base station (BS). To meet
these requirements, the networks need to be developed with
high energy efficient [1-3]. Since power consumption (PC) of
the system greatly deals with economic and societal
concerns. Massive MIMO has evolved substantially over the
past few decades and has seen an accelerating trend of
technical advances particularly in multi-user
communication. The future information and communication
technology (ICT) industry should require low PC to support
high data rates. New methods and technologies must be
designed to attain high energy efficiency (EE) in the fifth
generation (5G) networks. Since a large number of
Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and host of inter-connected
networks will co-exist on a single platform.

The critical challenge of a cellular network is to improve
1000× area throughput with an annual traffic growth rate of
41%-59% over the next 20 years [4]. The network load grows
daily 3-10 times higher than the minimum network load
reported in [5]. It is recommended to implement novel
methods and technologies to be designed to minimize PC. To
meet the requirements of urban high dense networks, small
cells and massive MIMO are considered as the most
promising technologies to achieve high SE and EE [6]. The
first technology deploys hundreds of small dipole antennas
and fits on the flat-television screen. In massive MIMO,
array gain reduces transmit power by using coherent
processing, where the multiplexing gain allows high area
throughput. From the last decade, more research has done on
EE perspective of a system, which is related to the
cost-benefit ratio. The EE of a system is defined as the ratio of
area SE to the transmit power plus circuit power as follows,
Massive MIMO combines with small cells also improve the
area throughput but the combined technology increases
hardware cost and complexity. The EE maximization has
been achieved with UL EE by minimizing [7] the
superimposed pilot signals in the DL. Realistic circuit PC
and path loss models were proposed [8] to achieve maximal
EE. By operating power amplifiers towards saturation region
and reducing the peak to average power ratio also improve
the EE. The SE and EE are improved by optimizing cell
density and frequency spectrum [9]. Optimization of pilot
signals also improves the EE [10] with the predefined quality
of service and total power budget. Reference signal power
control [11] plays an important role to maximize the EE in
the UL massive MIMO systems. Scaling laws of EE is
analyzed [12] with large BS antennas, and spatial channel
correlation. Reducing interference [13] is more effective to
gain maximum EE by using spatially dynamic power control
in device-to-device networks. Deploying large BS antennas
by using scalable optimal power transfer efficiency model
was proposed [14] to improve the EE. The optimization of
EE is achieved without knowledge of circuit PC [15] by large
BS antennas. The EE is an increasing function of the number
of BS antennas and UTs in the DL massive MIMO [16].
