Analysis of Multi-Cell MIMO Measurements in an Urban Macrocell Environment

چکیده
In this paper we analyze the properties of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channels in urban macro-cell environments based on a narrow-band measurement campaign with simultaneous measurements from two sites in the GSM-1800 band. We focus here on bulk parameters such as shadow-fading, angle-spread, and their variation in space and cross-correlation among different sectors. We also look on the dependence between Direction of Arrival and Direction of Departure, (DoA/DoD). Our analysis result shows virtually no cross-site correlation of the studied parameters, while cross-sector correlation is substantial.

Approximation Algorithms for Online User Association in Multi-Tier Multi-Cell Mobile Networks
Abstract—The constantly growing wireless bandwidth demand is pushing wireless networks to multi-tier architectures consisting of a macrocell tier and a number of dense small cell deployment tiers. In such a multi-tier multi-cell environment, the classic problem of associating users to base stations becomes both more challenging and more critical to the overall network performance. Most previous...
