Smart phone sensors provide new possibilities to understand how devices are actually used and handled in real-life situations. Such information can possibly be used to design better handsets, but also to improve network performance. For example, the radiated performance of a wireless device depends on its orientation and position relative to the user. Hence, knowing realistic handset usage plays a...
The radiated performance of a wireless device depends on its orientation and position relative to the user. In addition, the antenna performance is different on different devices and it depends on the device model. Hence, to understand the impact of the users behaviour on the device antenna and the resulting network performance an investigation of the device usage and signal quality is of high importance...
In this paper we investigate the impact of the spatial user distribution on the Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) of the output signals from an ideal 4-port antenna. The antenna consists of four elementary Huygens sources operating in Random Line-Of-Sight (RLOS). The antenna is assumed to be wall-mounted. Two specific scenarios for the user distribution are considered, i.e., the 3D hemisphere and a rectangular...
This paper presents a study of measuring complete over-the-air (OTA) system performance of software-defined radios (SDRs) such as the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) developed by Ettus Research and National Instruments. We use the reverberation chamber (RC) for measuring the OTA system throughput (TPUT) when the USRP is configured in single-input single-output, 1 x 2 single-input multiple-output,...
The characterization of the performance of wireless devices is key to developing new RF products conforming to the latest communications protocols. Traditionally, communication performance tests have focused on the RF performance of the tested devices, e.g., smart phones, pads, laptops, and so on. In particular, the focus has shifted from conducted (i.e., cabled) measurements to more realistic over-the-air...
This paper presents a proposed measurement method utilizing the reverberation chamber to measure MAC layer throughput for LTE enabled wireless devices. By using the reverberation chamber a statistically isotropic environment is produced, which is a suitable reference environment for terminal antenna testing.
