A MIMO framework for 4G systems: WINNER Concept and Results (pdf)

Abstract:
Abstract—In this paper, the MIMO framework within WINNER for fourth generation radio systems is further developed and assessed for various deployment scenarios. The emphasis is on radio network system aspects of multi-antenna techniques where preferred configurations for three basic deployment scenarios are given. In the wide area scenario which aims to provide ubiquitous coverage for rural, suburban and urban areas, the scheme selection depends on the user density of spatially separated users. It ranges from grid of fixed beams (GoB) (TDMA based) in case of few users to SDMA with a fixed linear precoding codebook, and finally to adaptive beams with SDMA for highly dense system. In the metropolitan area scenario which is targeting system deployments in large urban environments, multi-user (MU) MIMO precoding performs very well for slow moving users. For higher velocities, per antenna rate control (PARC) or adaptive linear dispersion codes (LDCs) are better choices. In the local area scenario which is characterized by isolated sites, the combination of SDMA and spatial multiplexing achieved by MU-MIMO precoding provides high spectral efficiency.
