Abstract:
|
In the past years numerous algorithms, schemes and techniques
have been proposed, in order to improve the performance
of the wireless multi-antenna communication systems.
Real-time multi-antenna testbeds are offering the means to
analyse the real-world performance, implementation cost and
feasibility of such novel techniques, accounting for hardware
limitations and software constraints. This paper presents the
physical-layer (PHY) design, implementation and validation
of a high-performance real-time mobile WiMAX transceiver,
accounting for low-level deployment issues and signal impairments.
A first evaluation of the acquired results for both
Single Input Single Output (SISO) and Multiple Input Multiple
Output (MIMO) system-configurations, demonstrates
the performance of the system using real-time channel emulation. |
