MIMO OTA testing using CTIA’s recommendations

LTE-Advanced technology features such as MIMO1 help to improve the radio performance of future mobile devices and enable end-users to access a truly mobile broadband experience with very fast data rates. The increasingly complex mobile devices are leading to a need for more extensive testing prior to market launch. 

Huawei Conducts 4×4 MIMO Trial on Commercial LTE Network

Huawei has successfully executed LTE 4×4 MIMO field trial in the network of Deutsche Telekom. According to Huawei, this field trial showed download data rates of up to 250Mbps. MIMO offers improved network performance in terms of coverage, spectral efficiency and throughput. The LTE 4×4 MIMO field trial utilized Huawei’s SingleRAN LTE solution.

Massive MIMO, a future option beyond 4G LTE

Yesterday I read an interesting article on Massive MIMO. The next generation network beyond 4G could be built with big arrays of tiny antennas, according to Bell Labs scientist Tom Marzetta.
