In this paper we present a measurement set-up for massive MIMO channel sounding that shows very good long-term phase stability. Initial measurements were performed in a residential area to evaluate different conventional precoding schemes such as maximum ratio transmission and phase only precoding. A massive amount of data points was collected, with 924 times 64 complex channel weights per data point. Each data point is position-tagged using differential GPS with real-time kinematik, achieving better than 35cm position accuracy in more than 90 rich resource for, e.g., further studying machine learning based, data-driven approaches in wireless communications.
