Performance Enhancement using MIMO techniques for UMTS FDD
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques for Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) analysis is presented. To simulate the radio channel the COST 259 directional channel model (DCM) is used for macro and microcell scenarios, as defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Values of capacity and Bit Error Rate (BER) are obtained for different MIMO configurations. A capacity enhancement is achieved using MIMO with UMTS but different results for the BER metric were observed when a uniform power distribution is used through the antenna element array (AEA).

Practical Low Complexity Linear Equalization for MIMO-CDMA Systems
This article first reviews recently proposed techniques for adaptive and direct linear MIMO equalization in the context of MIMO-CDMA systems and in particular with application to a MIMO-extended UMTS-FDD downlink. The focus is thereby mainly on the complexity of the algorithms. The second part of the paper proposes frequency domain (FD) MIMO equalization using the overlap/add FFT method in conj...

The paper discusses the performance of a MIMOextended UMTS-FDD downlink with a 2x2 and a 4x4 antenna configuration. An analytical expression for the average signal to interference ratio (SIR) of a space-time (ST) RAKE receiver in an interference dominated environment is derived. Simulations are used to assess the BER performance with the number of concurrent users as a parameter. The results ar...
