The massive Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) system is one of the technologies in 6-Generation (6G) communication networks. Omnidirectional or broad coverage precoding is used in massive MIMO to broadcast the common signals from public channels to all active and non-active users so that the radiation power of these signals is constant in all spatial directions. On the other hand, in large-scale array antennas, the presence of mutual coupling leads to deteriorating the performance of MIMO systems. In this paper, we propose omnidirectional precoding of the massive MIMO equipped with a Uniform Rectangular Array (URA) in presence of the mutual coupling. In the proposed method, omnidirectional transmission and maximum achievable ergodic rate conditions are developed for the case that mutual coupling exists, then an omnidirectional precoding matrix is designed to satisfy three constraints: 1) Omnidirectional transmission, 2) Equal average power transmission per antenna, and 3) Maximum achievable ergodic rate. For this purpose, we show that an omnidirectional matrix can be reconstructed using a pair of vectors with elements' absolute value equal to one that forms a Complementary Set (CS), and the Complete Complementary Codes (CCC) that satisfied some conditions. The intended CS is selected from the Golay sequence and the intended CCC is obtained by solving a gradient algorithm with projection on the Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds. Simulation results confirm the expected results.
