The rising importance of software implementation in a communication network, high signal to noise ratio, and link reliability are some of the drivers for the massive MIMO market.
The LTE Advanced technology segment accounted for the largest share of the massive MIMO market in 2017. LTE Advanced supports carrier load and higher order MIMO techniques and also supports a data rate of 1 Gbps in the downlink and 500 Mbps in the uplink direction.
