Abstract :
We describe a simulation study of a cellular system using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna techniques along with adaptive modulation and aggressive frequency reuse. We show, for the case of 3 transmit and 3 receive antennas, how much MIMO systems outperform systems with receive-diversity-only when noise dominates. When co-channel interference from surrounding cells dominates, the differences shrink, as do the absolute numbers. We quantify these reductions for the specific cases studied, and discuss further areas of research
