Title
Measurements of MIMO Indoor Channels at 1800 MHz with Multiple Indoor and Outdoor Base Stations
Abstract
This paper proposes several configurations for multiple base stations in indoor MIMO systems and compares their performance. The results are based on channel measurements realized with a MIMO testbed. The receiver was moved along several routes and floors on an office building. Both outdoor and indoor locations are considered for the transmitters or base stations, which allows the analysis of not only indoor but also outdoor to indoor environment. The use of 2 base stations with different system level combinations of the two is analysed. We show that the 2×4 configuration with base station selection provides almost as good performance as a 4 × 4 full water-filling scheme when the 2 base stations are placed at different locations. Also the spatial correlation properties for the different configurations are analysed and the importance of considering path loss when evaluating capacity is highlighted. Index Terms—Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), radio channel measurement, spatial diversity, base station.
