Abstract

Based on the indoor measurement campaign, the performance of MIMO spatial multiplexing in the LOS environments has been compared with that in the NLOS ones. It has been shown that the average BER performance in the LOS environments is better than that in the NLOS ones despite higher fading correlations. The BER is obtained by computer simulations using MIMO channel measurements. We compare the performance with the one in NLOS environments. Furthermore, we investigate the BER performance of an eigenbeam-space division multiplexing (E-SDM) system where the channel state information is known also at the TX end.
