Abstract- In this paper we concentrate on performance for Massive Multiple

Input Multiple Output (MIMO) with channel coding and without channel
coding wherein the performance of Bit Error Rate (BER) of both is compared.
In the test setup, the Base station is incorporated with 16 antennas along with 16
User terminals with single antenna providing a reliable communication. The
coded Massive MIMO system for Channel coding adopted Low Density Parity
Check (LDPC) codes. The setup is simulated using Matlab. The observed
simulation produces a result which shows a better performance and lower BER
for LDPC coded Massive MIMO system than for the system without channel
coding.

Keywords- Massive MIMO, Channel coding, LDPC codes.
