The EE and SE cannot be simultaneously optimized. ABSTRACT It is still quasi-concave due to noise amplifier, a large number of antennas, and cost of hardware, which decreases the radio A massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is frequency chains (RF) [7]-[15]. A large number of antennas in very important to optimize the trade-off energy-efficiency both linear precoder and decoder are needed to select the (EE) and spectral-efficiency (SE) in fifth-generation cellular optimal antenna to limit the noise with uncorrelated networks (5G). The challenges for the next generation depend interference. In addition, deploying more antennas causes on increasing the high data traffic in the wireless higher circuit power consumption. From the perspective of communication system for both EE and SE. In this paper, the energy-efficiency, the increasing base stations in the cellular trade-off EE and SE based on the first derivative of transmit networks reported that the total consumed energy in the whole antennas and transmit power in downlink massive MIMO network approximately 60-80% [16]-[20].

The trade-off EE-SE by using scaling at transmitting signal from BS to users depends on multi-objective optimization problem to decrease transmit reducing the interference. It takes into account the constraints power has been analyzed. The EE and SE based on constraint of the transmit power allocation. Massive MIMO system helps maximum transmits power allocation and a number of to reduce transmit power created from high power gain and antennas by computing the first derivative of transmit power provides the higher EE. Moreover, distributed users in every to maximize the trade-off EE – SE has been improved. From cell and spectrum allocation are needed to improve spectral the simulation results, the optimum trade-off between EE and efficiency.
