Abstract :
This paper presents an outdoor MIMO throughput experiment using a commercial LTE cellular network in the 2.6 GHz band. The 2-by-2 MIMO throughput was measured in a radio propagation test in an unban area of Aalborg city in Denmark. At the same time, radio channel sounding was also conducted to obtain the radio path distribution. The throughput performance was investigated using the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and the channel sounding data.
