Long-term evolution (LTE) of the UMTS network provides improved system capacity and coverage, high peak data rates, low latency, reduced operating costs, multi-antenna support, flexible bandwidth operations and seamless integration with existing systems. To achieve these enhancements, a new design for the air interface including state-of-art multi-antenna technology was developed. This article describes multi-antenna schemes for UMTS LTE and provides system performance of different multi-antenna schemes under various scenarios.
