WIRELESS SYSTEM IMPAIRMENTSWireless communication systems are limited in performance and capacity by:
Delay Spread CoChannel
Interference
Rayleigh Fading
Limited Spectrum

SMART ANTENNAS
Today: Cellular systems with sectorization (120°) handoffs between sectors
For higher performance Narrower sectors Too many handoffs
Smart Antenna definition: Multibeam antenna or adaptive array without handoffs between beams

Smart Antennas
Smart Antennas can significantly improve the performance of wireless systems
• Higher antenna gain / diversity gain Range extension and multipath mitigation
• Interference suppression Quality and capacity improvement
• Suppression of delayed signals Equalization of ISI for higher data rates
• Multiple signals in the same bandwidth Higher data rates

INTERFERENCE NULLINGLine-Of-Sight Systems
Utilizes spatial dimension of radio environment to:• Maximize signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio• Increase gain towards desired signal• Null interference: M-1 interferers with M antennas

Antenna pattern is meaningless, but performance is based on the number of signals, not number of paths (without delay spread).
=> A receiver using adaptive array combining with M antennas and N-1 interferers can have the same performance as a receiver with M-N+1 antennas and no interference, i.e., can null N-1 interferers with M-N+1 diversity improvement (N-fold capacity increase).
10
MIMO CAPACITY INCREASE
• With M antennas at both the base station and mobiles, M independent channels can be provided in the same bandwidth if the multipath environment is rich enough.
• 1.2 Mbps in a 30 kHz bandwidth using 8 transmit and 12 receive antennas demonstrated by Lucent (indoors).
• Separation of signals from two closely-spaced antennas 5 miles from the base station demonstrated by AT&T/Lucent.
11
• Delay spread: Delay spread over [(M-1) / 2]T or M-1 delayed signals (over any delay) can be eliminated
• Typically use temporal processing with spatial processing for equalization:

SMART ANTENNAS IN SECOND GENERATION SYSTEMS
• IS-136 TDMA:– On uplink, with two receive antennas, in 1999
changed from maximal ratio combining to MMSE combining
• Software change only - provided 3-4 dB gain in interference-limited environments
• Combined with power control on downlink (software change only) - increased capacity through frequency reuse reduction
13
SMART ANTENNAS IN SECOND GENERATION SYSTEMS
• Techniques proposed a decade before implementation, but:– MMSE combining: SMI degrades performance
when interference is not present• Solution: Diagonal loading with beta=f(I/N)
– Power control: 1 second reporting delay of mobile BER and RSSI – unstable at pedestrian speeds
• Solution: Use uplink RSSI (diversity) with mobile BER

from maximal ratio combining to MMSE combining• Software change only - provided 3-4 dB gain in interference-
limited environments
• Combined with power control on downlink (software change only) - increased capacity through frequency reuse reduction
– Use of 4 antennas (adaptive array uplink/multibeam, with power control, downlink) extends range and/or doubles capacity (N=7 to 4 or 3)
• Clears spectrum for EDGE deployment (2001)

• Fixed switched beam downlink with power control for increased coverage and capacity
• Uplink and downlink are independent
• Shared linear power amplifiers reduce amplifier requirements to handle maximum traffic load

EDGE with Interference Suppression in a Typical Urban Environment
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Techniques for 3G Wireless Systems
• Multiple antennas at both the base station and terminal can significantly increase data rates if the multipath environment is rich enough
sufficient multipath low correlation high spectral efficiency
• With 4 transmit and receive antennas 4 independent data channels can be provided in the same bandwidth
• Data rates as high as 1.5 Mbps (4x384 kbps) may be possible for EDGE or as high as 40 Mbps for Wideband OFDM (also can be used in WCDMA/HDR)
21
MIMO-EDGE
• Goal: 4 transmit / 4 receive antennas in EDGE can theoretically increase capacity 4-fold with the same total transmit power (3.77X384 kbps = 1.45 Mbps is actual theoretical increase)
• Issues:– Joint spatial-temporal equalization
– Weight adaptation
– Mobile channel characteristics to support MIMO-EDGE
• Our approach:– Development of multi-antenna EDGE testbed
– Development of 2X2 and 4X4 DDFSE architecture with MMSE combining using successive interference cancellation
– Mobile channel measurements

EDGE with Wideband OFDM - MIMO Downlink
• High data rates (>1 Mbps) required on downlink only
• OFDM eliminates need for temporal processing => simplified MIMO processing for much higher data rates
• With 1.25 MHz bandwidth, QPSK, OFDM-MIMO with 4 antennas at base station and terminal => 10 Mbps downlink
26
SMART ANTENNA EVOLUTION FOR TDMA
• IS-136:
• Optimum combining uplink / power control downlink at all base stations with existing 2Rx/1Tx antennas
• 4Rx/4Tx antenna upgrade (adaptive uplink/multibeam downlink) for N=7 to 4 to clear spectrum for EDGE
• EDGE:
• S-T processing with IS-136 smart antennas (Data followed by VoIP)
• MIMO-EDGE (1.5 – 2.4 Mbps)
• Wideband OFDM-MIMO downlink (10 - 40 Mbps)
• 4Rx/4Tx base station with software radio for software evolution at base station with terminal replacements
• Research issues: Deployment strategies / integration with DCA, PC, adaptive modulation and coding / improved weight adaptation with CCI
