Real-time Testbed for Validating Distributed Antenna Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) promise to deliver solutions for the future wireless challenges using multiple remote radio heads (RRHs) in a distributed architecture, thereby supporting high frequency re-use, increased coverage, decreasing interference and latency. DAS architecture consists of multiple RRHs connected to a centralized base station via an optical fiber network. This work explains different DAS deployment techniques on a real-time LTE system. It focuses on the implementation details of LTE PHY on a TI (Texas Instruments) DSP and corresponding processing blocks that need to be adapted to support the functionality of DAS. Different DAS use case scenarios of deployment, their advantages and key performance indicators, are analyzed. This work also includes the measurement results of deploying antenna selection scenario to investigate and validate DAS on a real-time LTE system. Keywords—remote radio head (RRH), distributed antenna system (DAS), physical layer (PHY), long term evolution (LTE), digital signal processor (DSP)

متن کاملModel-based Testing Without a Model: Assessing Portability in the Seattle Testbed
Despite widespread OS, network, and hardware heterogeneity, there has been a lack of research into quantifying and improving portability of a programming environment. We have constructed a distributed testbed called Seattle built on a platform-independent programming API that is implemented on different operating systems and architectures. Our goal is to show that applications written to our AP...
متن کاملLuMaMi - A flexible testbed for massive MIMO
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is one of the strong candidates for future generation mobile systems. Theoretical studies promise orders-of-magnitude improvements in both spectral and energy efficiency, as the number of antenna elements on base-stations grow large. While these studies are performed under simplifying assumptions, such as independent and identically distributed elem...
