Abstract :
MIMO capacity limits for interference limited WCDMA systems are estimated using practical channel data. Uplink and downlink capacity limits for STBC and code multiplexing MIMO schemes are presented, highlighting the impacts of interference mitigation, code rate, transmitter/receiver ratio and code orthogonality.
