Multiple transmit multiple receive (MTMR) capacity survey in Manhattan - Electronics Letters

چکیده
Introduction: Iilformation theory research has show1 that multiple transmit multiple receivc (MTMR) arrays can achieve enormous capacity gains over single-antenna systems by exploiting multipaths in the rich scattcring wircless channel [I , 21. Practical signalling schemes have been proposed which achieve a large fraction of the Shannon capacity, and one such scheme is the Bell Labs Layered Space Time (BLAST) scheme [I, 31. Previous measurements have focused on suburban areas [4, 51. ln this Letter we present the results of a survey of narrowband MTMR channel measurements for an area of Manhattan. The base array was mounted lO0m above street level, and the terminal array was mounted on a van at a height of 1.5m. We evaluate the Shannon capacity of the MTMR channel for a plausible configuration of two and four antennas for handheld, and sixteen antennas for laptop terminal devices. To observe the relative merit of a given MTMR channel, the measured capacity is compared to the capacity given a Rayleigh i.i.d. channel.

In this paper, we focus on pilot-aided channel estimation methods in the context of OFDM-based WLANs with Multiple Transmit Multiple Receive (MTMR) antennas, and we compare several solutions together with several pilot designs in a realistic context. In particular, we take into account null subcarriers as specified in the WLANs standards. We consider channel estimation based on the Minimum Mean...

New multiple-transmitter, multiple-receiver (MTMR) systems promise huge gains in data capacity that cannot be ignored by a wireless industry that desires to increase the data capacity for subscribers in an increasingly congested frequency spectrum. Design of such systems, however, will require an entirely new approach to channel modeling, since traditional techniques have dealt with single ante...
متن کاملCapacity of multiple-transmit multiple-receive antenna architectures
The capacity of wireless communication architectures equipped with multiple transmit and receive antennas and impaired by both noise and cochannel interference is studied. We find a closed-form solution for the capacity in the limit of a large number of antennas. This asymptotic solution, which is a sole function of the relative number of transmit and receive antennas and the signal-to-noise an...

We present in this paper some capacity and transinformation measurements for a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission system consisting of 4 transmit and 4 receive antennas. The measurements have been performed in a small office scenario where the Line of Sight (LOS) is usually present. We will derive the channel capacity for a frequency selective MIMO channel taking into account th...
