Abstract In this paper, we investigate theoretical transmission capacity limit of the uplink hybrid wireless network under infrastructure mode. Massive MIMO technology is assumed to be equipped on the base station to further increase the whole network throughput. Multi-user MIMO is preferred over Point-to-Point MIMO to achieve improved scalability and simplify UE design. Another perspective of this paper is to include the fading effect on capacity. Under favorable propagation condition, Massive MIMO greatly mitigates small scale fading effect between each user and base station antenna. Then closed-form outage capacity over large scale fading channel is derived in both low SNR and high SNR scenarios.
