In this paper, we study the channel estimation problem for time division multiplex amplify-and-forward (AF) relay channels. Both the source and the destination and also the in-between relay node comprise multiple antennas, and there are spatial fading correlations in each hop. We first derive a linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimator from a simple scenario where there are no correlations...
Aiming at the combination of BF (Beamforming) and MIMO (Multiple Input and Multiple Output), a generalized wireless downlink transmission scheme with the named of BF-MIMO is presented. According to a series of transformations of the signals in the transmit and receive antenna pairs, a combined flat fading channel matrix is analyzed and formulated. And then, based on the steering vector of transmit...
In this paper, the impact of the polarization on the performance of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel with cross-polarized antennas has been investigated based on the outdoor macrocell measurement at 2.53 GHz. A simple model which can capture the major characteristics of the cross polarized channel is proposed. The effective polarization rotation during the propagation is evaluated...
Cooperation between adjacent base stations (BSs) may reduce intercell interference in future cellular networks and enhance network capacity in this way. The potential of cooperation is evaluated in this paper based on measurements conducted at 5.2 GHz in a campus environment with four overlapping cells. For each individual link of the four BS and five terminal locations, a 10 times 16 antenna configuration...
In this paper, we investigate the polarization characteristics of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. The cross polarization discrimination (XPD) is found to change over time, while its variation in frequency domain is relatively small. The probability density function (PDF) of the XPD follows a Gaussian distribution. Analysis and measurement results show that the polarization preserves...
This paper proposes a relay channel model which takes into account the influence of relay location and antenna configuration. Simulation results show that when relay is in the line-of-sight (LOS) propagation environment, the channel capacity will degrade. To improve the performance of the channel, water-filling (WF) algorithm is used to allocate the power, simulation results shows that the WF-based...
In this paper, we investigate the correlation characteristics of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels based on the outdoor measurement. The correlation coefficients for both co-polarized and cross-polarized channels are studied. Results show that the polarization decorrelation performs better than spatial decorrelation in strong line of sight (LOS) scenario. In non line of sight (NLOS)...
