Popis: This paper proposes an energy efficient antenna selection for large scale (LS) MIMO in green base station (BS). For the maximum energy efficiency (EE) operation of LS-MIMO, antenna selection is necessary, because the RF chains which are connected with antennas are expensive, and consumes a lot of power. However, the excessive amount of antennas in LS-MIMO hinder the efficient antenna selection. We determine optimum antenna number in various circumstances, and show that with LS-MIMO, simple random antenna selection can provide significant EE gain. Moreover, we also show if the EE optimum number of antenna is larger than a certain threshold, the random antenna selection is already very close to the optimum antenna selection. The proposed technique is verified by both mathematical analysis and numerical simulations.
