A CSP-based Processing Architecture for a Flexible MIMO-OFDM Testbed

چکیده
Abstract. Future wireless communication systems require novel techniques to increase the bitrate, coverage and mobility. One of these techniques is spatial multiplexing and we have investigated the use of a CSP-based kernel in the implementation of a spatial multiplexing testbed. It turns out that the use of the CSP-based kernel not only provides a good way of system modeling, but also provides a very scalable software architecture for the testbed. In future, we can change several system parameters without changing the software architecture. With the testbed we were able to verify the concept of spatial multiplexing in an office environment.

Large MIMO base stations remain among wireless network designers’ best tools for increasing wireless throughput while serving many clients, but current system designs, sacrifice throughput with simple linear MIMO detection algorithms. Higher-performance detection techniques are known, but remain off the table because these systems parallelize their computation at the level of a whole OFDM subca...

Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is powerful in enhancing communication capacity or reliance. The IEEE802.11n standard defines use of four spatial streams in spatial division multiplexing (SDM). The task group of IEEE802.11ac will extend it to eight spatial streams. We present an 8×8 MIMOOFDM baseband transceiver compatible with the IEEE802.11ac speci...
