Performance of cooperative MIMO based on measured urban channel data

Summary, in English

We study the potential benefits of cooperative multiple-input multiple-output signaling from multiple coherent base stations with one or more mobile stations in an urban macrocellular environment. The analysis uses novel and fully coherent measurements of the channel from three base stations to a single mobile station equipped with four antennas. The observed channels are used to explore the gains in capacity enabled

by cooperative base station signaling for point-to-point and multi-user communications. The analysis shows that cooperative signaling using practical algorithms yields significant increases in average capacity.
