Abstract

Significant improvements in the quality and reliability of indoor WLAN communications are claimed for devices with MIMO technology applying 802.11n standards, that allow users to achieve a theoretical data rate up to 300-600 Mbps on a single transmission. This paper presents an analysis of a commercial 802.11n MIMO 2×3 dual band (2.4 and 5 GHz) system focusing on the operational throughput performance over an indoor environment for Line of Sight (LOS) and Non Line of Sight (NLOS) scenarios. Efforts on combined field strength distribution, throughput, propagation-channel environments, of this system will be elucidated. The work is focusing on the operational performance of the physical measurements and results compared with simulation model over an indoor environment.
