Abstract

We have developed an LTE-Advanced-based 8 × 8 multiuser MIMO experimental system with vector perturbation to overcome performance degradation of the MIMO technique under spatially correlated channel conditions, such as a line-of-sight (LoS) environment. This paper introduces our experimental system and shows results of outdoor/indoor experiments envisioning small-cell environments. Through experimental evaluation, it is confirmed that the throughput of the downlink transmission with vector perturbation reaches almost double that with MMSE spatial filtering.
