Linking Reduction in Measured MIMO Capacity with Dominant-Wave Propagation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We measured the channel capacity of an 8×8 multiple-input multiple-output system in a richscattering office scenario at 5.2GHz. We found that there exist remarkable receive positions and directions within a single office, where a strong reduction in MIMO capacity can be observed. Another reduction is due to different transmit array alignment. Investigating the directions-ofdeparture and direction-of-arrival, we show that these effects are related to dominant-wave propagation.

Mimo Channel Capacity: Electromagnetic Wave Perspective
Radio propagation channel has a profound impact on the MIMO channel capacity. Under favourable conditions (i.e., uncorrelated high-rank channel or rich scattering), the MIMO capacity scales roughly linearly as the number of Tx/Rx antennas. However, the channel correlation decreases the capacity and, at some point, it is the dominant effect. This effect received considerable attention in recent ...

Drastic improvements in transmission rate and system capacity are required towards 5th generation mobile communications (5G). One promising approach, utilizing the millimeter wave band for its rich spectrum resources, suffers area coverage shortfalls due to its large propagation loss. Fortunately, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can offset this shortfall as well as offer high orde...

A simple but efficient method for evaluating the channel capacity of 2 × 2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems is proposed. First, the channel capacity of a half-wavelength dipole array antenna is calculated using the Monte Carlo method by changing the incident-wave signal-to-noise power ratio, the power difference between two elements, and the correlation coefficient. Using t...

The conventional MIMO systems have a capability of enhancing channel capacity by exploiting multipath environment [1]. Recently, a novel scheme which utilizes MIMO system in near-field region has proposed [2]. In the near-field MIMO system, channel capacity is able to be improved without a multipath, because spherical wave is considered as a superposition of plane waves. It is expected that the...

In this paper we present a new upper bound on the capacity of MIMO systems. By using a novel channel decomposition we develop a fundamental bound on capacity which is independent of antenna array geometries and array signal processing. Using a modal expansion for free-space wave propagation we show that there exists a maximum achievable capacity for communication between spatial regions of spac...
