Experimental investigation of the temporal variation of MIMO channels

چکیده
The measurement and characterisation of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels has gained increasing attention over recent years. Previous analysis of MIMO measurements has generally focussed on the evaluation of the capacity of such systems in differing locations and configurations. In this paper we present measurements made in an indoor environment at 5.2GHz, specifically to investigate temporal channel variation. Line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight situations are compared by means of an analysis of the rate of variation in the powers of the ‘orthogonal spatial channels’ comprising the overall MIMO channel. The conclusions are extended to encompass the rate of variation in performance of MIMO channels under different environmental conditions.

Experimental Characterization of the Mimo Channel Temporal Behavior
This paper analyzes temporal variation in measured multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels with moving communication nodes. A wideband 8×8 sounder is employed to measure the response of indoor and outdoor channels at 2.55 and 5.2 GHz. The rate of channel temporal variation is then quantified in terms of information theoretic metrics that indicate the loss in channel quality as tr...

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
متن کاملImpact of Temporal SNR Variation on MIMO Channel Capacity in Urban Microcells
Usually the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication channels is evaluated under the assumption of fixed signal to noise (SNR) scenario. In this paper the impact of temporal SNR variation on capacity of MIMO wireless channels in urban microcells is considered. Results based on data measured in line of sight (LOS) and non line of sight (NLOS) propagation scenarios...

In this paper, required parameters for the spatial MIMO channel modeling are studied, and necessary steps for realization of the channel based on two different scenarios, called; “ un-polarized and cross-polarized antenna”, are introduced. We also consider the effect of cross correlations between important parameters like delay spread, shadow fading and angle spread in our study. Th...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of the Mimo Wideband Channel Temporal Variation
With perfect channel state information (CSI) at the receiver and/or transmitter, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems exhibit a large capacity improvement over their single-input single-output (SISO) counterparts. However, when the MIMO channel is time variant, CSI is either imperfect or unavailable, leading to severe reductions in the available capacity [1]. Although a few st...
