Abstract: Mobile phone operators have begun the roll-out of 5G networks, deploying massive MIMO base stations. Commercial product ranges start with 16 independent radio chains connected to a large-scale antenna system to exploit both channel hardening and favourable propagation in order to obtain increased spectral efficiency. In this work, the cumulative distribution function describing the gain for large-scale antenna systems considering spatial and spectral diversity is evaluated empirically in terms of a fading margin and compared to an analytical maximum diversity reference system. This allows for a simple investigation of the trade-off between deployment size and exploitation of channel hardening. For the considered site-specific measurement data, little additional diversity is harvested with systems larger than 32 antenna elements.
