Análisis experimental de un canal massive MIMO en una picocelda de interior

Abstract

[EN] This paper presents an analysis of the massive MIMO channel in an indoor picocell. The analysis is based on the results of a measurement campaign carried out in the 3.2 to 4 GHz band in a scenario of reduced size and with a symmetrical geometry. It is well known that the performance of massive MIMO systems depends largely on the fact that the radio channel meets the condition of favorable propagation. In order to evaluate the performance of the resulting massive MIMO channel, results concerning the sum capacity are included. A second factor that determines the performance of massive MIMO systems when it is operated in a TDD-OFDM framework is the frequency selectivity of the channel that limits the size of the coherence block. In this sense, results of the coherence bandwidths achieved are also presented and analyzed.
