Abstract
Strategies are developed to optimize the downlink performance of a massive MIMO network constrained to a fixed global transmit power and a fixed total number of transmit antennas. Two possible degrees of freedom are analysed : the distribution of the base stations and the beamforming technique. Two different shadowing environments are considered as well. The network performance is evaluated either by means of Monte Carlo simulations, or using analytical expressions derived thanks to stochastic geometry. The results suggest that the coverage probability increases with the numbers of base stations and the cluster size.
