Body-Worn Distributed MIMO System

In this paper, we analyze the performance of novel wearable multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which consist of multiple electrotextile wearable antennas distributed at different locations on human clothing. For wearable applications, a semidirectional radiation pattern of the wearable patch antenna is preferred over an omnidirectional radiation of conventional dipole antennas to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure to the human body and radiation losses. Additionally, the spatial distribution of the antennas is not constrained as a typical handheld unit. Through theoretical modeling and simulation, the wearable MIMO system is shown to demonstrate a significantly higher channel capacity than a conventional system on a handheld platform (e.g., a compact dipole array or a single dipole), due to enhanced spatial diversity and antenna pattern diversity. The unique effects of antenna directivity and location on the MIMO system capacity are investigated in terms of antenna correlation and effective gain under different wireless channel models. The advantage of a wearable system over a conventional system was further confirmed by detailed physical modeling through the combination of full-wave electromagnetic and ray-tracing simulations. Finally, complex channel response matrices were measured to characterize the performance of a body-worn MIMO system in comparison with a reference full-size dipole antenna. The 319% improvement in 10% outage capacity for the body-worn system over the reference system made of a full-size dipole antenna is consistent with the 288% improvement projected by theoretical modeling and the average 300% improvement found in the physical simulation of two typical indoor scenarios.

Indoor Planning for High Speed Downlink Packet Access in WCDMA Cellular Network

The aim of this paper is to show the special characteristics of the indoor environment related to radio propagation and furthermore to radio network planning. The aspects of the radio network planning are highlighted especially for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) radio access technology that is used widely in the third generation mobile networks. Moreover, the detailed planning parameters in indoor environment are studied for High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) in order to support high throughput data applications in Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). The final target of the paper is to compare pico cell, distributed antenna system (DAS), and radiating cable network configurations in indoor environment to provide the optimal radio conditions for the data applications, and thus to serve highest number of mobile users. Several measurement campaigns with different antenna configurations have been conducted in order to study the effect of multi path related parameters, as delay spread of the signal. Also other capacity related parameters as received signal levels, interference, throughput, and transmit power levels have been studied in order to find out the optimal solution for HSDPA in UMTS. The results clearly show that pico cells and distributed antenna system have outstanding performance in indoor propagation channel compared to radiating cable. In sense of signal quality, pico cell performance is slightly better compared to distributed antenna system. However, measurements with HSDPA indicate that practical capacity of DAS outperforms pico cells. The measurements also show that separation of the antennas is a key capacity related parameter when planning WCDMA based indoor systems.     

A review of antennas and propagation for MIMO wireless communications

Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems use multiple antenna elements at transmit and receive to offer improved capacity over single antenna topologies in multipath channels. In such systems, the antenna properties as well as the multipath channel characteristics play a key role in determining communication performance. This paper reviews recent research findings concerning antennas and propagation in MIMO systems. Issues considered include channel capacity computation, channel measurement and modeling approaches, and the impact of antenna element properties and array configuration on system performance. Throughout the discussion, outstanding research questions in these areas are highlighted.     

Assessment of MISO time reversal for short-range communications in the 5 GHz ISM band

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of Time Reversal (TR) for short-range Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) systems in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) 5 GHz band using actual channel measurements. Such a scenario is considered for low cost user equipment applications, where low-complexity schemes like TR will be an potential candidate. The experiment is conducted with 8 transmit antennas and 1 receive antenna per user. The antennas are arranged in compact and distributed configurations, and the channel is measured in both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) dominated scenarios. We investigate the performance of TR in terms of time compression, spatial focusing, and diversity gain, by analyzing the delay spread, the spatial Peak-to-Average-Leakage power ratio and the diversity gain, respectively. The conclusions that can be drawn from the experiment are: TR with multiple transmit antennas shows better performance compared to the single antenna link in terms of time compres- sion, spatial focusing, and diversity gain, even in realistic short-range communications. Second, a distributed 8 Tx antenna configuration achieves lower delay spread and higher diversity gain than a compact antenna array with the same number of elements. In the situation where practical impairments are taken into consideration, the system delay involving propagation and processing time is found to be a crucial parameter degrading the performance of TR.     

A radio access system with distributed antennas

This paper analyzes a radio access system that has multiple antennas spatially distributed throughout each cell, instead of a single antenna at each cell. The same signal is simulcast by each antenna in the cell. The signals at a given cell could be multiplexed and modulated for radio transmission at a single node, then transmitted on a coaxial cable distribution system to and from the distributed antennas in a cell. Frequency translation and radio frequency (RF) amplification may need to be performed at each antenna, except for indoor applications with short coaxial cables. This paper presents calculations of signal-to-interference ratios (SIR) and handoff performance for cells with distributed antennas. It is shown that the use of distributed antennas can substantially increase the SIR above a system with a single antenna per cell, and this increase is quantified. It is also shown that increasing the number of antennas results in better overall handoff performance, with a lower number of handoffs and higher received signal power. Minimizing the number of handoffs will reduce the impact of wireless services on network elements     

分布式MIMO系统发送天线选择与预编码联合设计

为了抑制多用户分布式多入多出(MIMO)系统中的同道干扰(CCI),使系统同时服务于更多用户,提出一种发送天线选择与预编码的联合设计方法。该方法立足于分布式MIMO系统基站端天线较多的特点,将下行发送天线选择与信漏噪比(SLNR)预编码相结合,通过为用户选择不同天线,从根本上减少CCI;在为每个用户选择天线时,先以信道子矩阵的迹为依据进行端口选择,再采用逐减的方法选择使SLNR损失值最小的天线,以保证每个用户对其他用户的干扰尽量小,从而达到进一步抑制CCI的目的。复杂度分析和仿真结果表明,该方法在具有较低复杂度同时,其容量性能仍可逼近最优算法;较之单纯的SLNR预编码,在相同的容量性能约束下,其能够有效增加系统同时服务的用户数。     

Capacity Performance of Polarized Distributed MIMO System on Rician Channel

The analytical upper bound and lower bound on the ergodic capacity of polarized distributed antenna system and their relation with antenna polarization on Rician channel are deduced by applying properties of complex non-central Wishart matrices and matrix-variate non-central quadratic forms. Compared to the related studies, our analysis is extended to account for the polarized distributed system with Rician fading where a line-of-sight component exists and both ends are affected by spatial correlation. The antenna polarization has some impacts on the capacity bounds according to the expressions of capacity bounds. Both the transmitter and the receiver are equipped with multiple polarization antennas, and the transmitters are of linear layout. A power allocation scheme based on the path loss fading is presented by maximizing the capacity upper bound. The power allocation scheme is feedback efficient compared with those power allocation schemes based on statistical parameters of the channel which need a large amount of feedback. In the simulations, the ergodic capacity of polarized distributed MIMO is analyzed. Comparisons are taken on the effects of angle spread, Rician factor and power on the ergodic capacity. The proposed power allocation scheme is superior to the equal power allocation scheme and has very close performance to the optimal power allocation scheme.
