Abstract: 5G is a futuristic and promising cellular wireless technology which plays an important role to enhance and improve wireless network and pave the way for a new and faster network that has capability to transform internet. Rapid Growth and innovations in wireless communication have unveiled new and exciting challenges. One of the major challenges is the maximization of transmission rate due to growing demand of multimedia and safety related applications. Among several solutions proposed in the literature, one of the most exciting and promising one for future 5G technologies is massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). Various studies have indicated the utility of massive MIMO in forthcoming networks. Therefore, this paper presents an overview of recent studies in massive MIMO along with a comprehensive overview of latest research issues. We also provide future prospect of massive MIMO by discussing how massive MIMO can be integrated with imminent technologies for better utilization of resources
