Systems, devices, and methods for realizing power efficiency in massive multiple-input-multiple-output (mimo) systems

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media (NTCRSM) comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a base station is to cause the base station to:

• determine current network traffic conditions in a wireless network including the base station;
• and
• implement a dynamic power efficiency scheme based on determining low traffic for the current network traffic conditions, wherein determined low traffic is determined network traffic conditions less than a predefined threshold,
• wherein to implement the dynamic power efficiency scheme comprises to perform one or more of the following:
• implement a sidelobe suppression scheme comprises to:
• define a plurality of sub-arrays of antenna elements from the antenna array, wherein each of the plurality of sub-arrays overlaps with one other sub-array of the plurality of sub-arrays;
• and
• apply a spatial windowing function to signals for each of the plurality of sub-arrays so that each transmission by the plurality of sub-arrays has tapered transmit power profile.
• dynamically modify at least one of a plurality of RF chains of the base station;
• dynamically adjust a MIMO configuration of the base station;
• dynamically modify operation of an antenna array of the base station;
• dynamically modify operation of at least one processor of the base station;
• and/or;
• dynamically modify operation of at least one memory circuit of the base station.
