Abstract :
This paper proposes a method for applying interlink correlation to evaluate a multiuser-multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) system and describes measurement of a multi-link MIMO propagation channel. The proposed method is validated through comparison of measurement results to those of the conventional MIMO propagation channel model. The results show that the proposed method employing the Weichselberger model can handle the interlink correlation property, and accurately reconstructs a MIMO propagation channel.
