Boosting Microwave Capacity Using Line-of-Sight MIMO
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Demand for network capacity continues to escalate as mobile subscribers get accustomed to using more data-rich and video-oriented services from their increasingly sophisticated devices. Deployments of 4th generation LTE/LTE-A mobile networks are poised to boost that demand even further as they promise to deliver subscribers a wireline experience in their wireless networks. In light of the significant increase in demand for network capacity, network operators are asking themselves whether cost-effective microwave can scale up to meet the ever-growing capacity demand.

Measurements and Channel Modelling of Microwave Line-of-Sight MIMO Links
The fading characteristics during meteorological conditions such as rain and variations of the atmospheric refractivity for Line-of-Sight (LOS) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels are investigated. Measurements have been performed on two prototype LOS-MIMO links in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is showed that rain can be modelled as a fully correlated attenuation of the received MIMO signal...
متن کاملMicrowave capacity evolution – new technologies and additional frequencies
in densely populated areas. A typical mobile-backhaul network has thousands of hops, and operators must be able to increase microwave capacity without having to change frequency planning and replace equipment across their entire network. This article reviews current and future microwave solutions with the potential for Gbps backhaul capacity levels, for rural and urban areas. The solutions pres...

متن کاملThe Role of Adaptivity in MIMO Line-of-Sight Systems for High Capacity Backhauling
Spectrally efficient backhaul networks are one of the key-factors for the deployment of next generation wireless cellular systems. The ambitious capacity requirements for future broadband wireless networks and the high infrastructure costs for new cell sites pose new challenges in the design of high capacity point-to-point (PtP) wireless microwave links. In this paper we present a study on PtP ...
متن کاملEnhancing measured MIMO capacity by adapting the locations of the antenna elements
We show that the multiple-input, multipleoutput (MIMO) capacity of measured, indoor flat-fading channels may be improved by adaptively changing the locations of the antenna elements. Moving the antenna elements is a way to provide spatial diversity to a MIMO link without decreasing the number of parallel data streams. First, we demonstrate that significant variations in equalpower capacity are ...
