Abstract

To demonstrate a real-time, mobile, peer to peer, ad-hoc networked MIMO system in a realistic tactical environment, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has instituted a program called mobile network MIMO. The first stage of this program is to demonstrate such a system in a rural foliated environment using MIMO equipped nodes in an ad-hoc network. For any particular link, both nodes are naturally at ground level. Such node placement necessitates a channel measurement and modeling effort to determined parameters such as spatial correlation, delay spread and propagation loss.
