Massive MIMO for Industrial Internet of Things in Cyber-Physical Systems

To apply cyber-physical system (CPS) technique in industrial internet, a wireless technology that is able to robustly maintain hyperconnectivity between a data center and distributed user entities and/or industrial Internet of Things devices is required. We investigate the feasibility of utilizing massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) as such a wireless technology. We analyze the performance of a massive MIMO base station deployed at a data center to provide massive connectivity to a large number of devices. In addition, we discuss related research challenges for deploying massive MIMO in industrial internet applications of CPS, such as device scheduling and power control, energy efficient design and radio frequency energy transfer/harvesting, signaling techniques for drones and mobile robots, and applications of underwater industrial internet.
