Abstract :
In this paper, we present the improvement method of the achievable rate using tunable beam-width microstrip antenna for the inter-cell interference (ICI) environment. 4×4 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels are measured in actual indoor environment by using tunable beam-width antennas at two across points. It is shown that the combination of the transmitting beamforming and beam-width control is effective in enhancing the date rate for the situation suffering from ICI.
