This paper presents preliminary results for a novel 128-antenna massive Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) testbed developed through Bristol Is Open in collaboration with National Instruments and Lund University. We believe that the results presented here validate the adoption of massive MIMO as a key enabling technology for 5G and pave the way for further pragmatic research by the massive MIMO community. The testbed operates in real-time with a Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-like PHY in Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode and supports up to 24 spatial streams, providing an excellent basis for comparison with existing standards and complimentary testbeds. Through line-of-sight (LOS) measurements at 3.51 GHz in an indoor atrium environment with 12 user clients, an uncoded system sum-rate of 1.59 Gbps was achieved in real-time using a single 20 MHz LTE band, equating to 79.4 bits/s/Hz. In a subsequent indoor trial, 22 user clients were successfully served, which would equate to 145.6 bits/s/Hz using the same frame schedule. To the best of the author's knowledge, these are the highest spectral efficiencies achieved for any wireless system to date. |
