Correlation and Capacity of Measured Multi-user MIMO Channels Florian Kaltenberger, David Gesbert, Raymond Knopp Marios Kountouris Institute Eurecom Wireless Networking and Communications Group 2229, Route des Cretes - B.P. 193 The University of Texas at Austin 06904 Sophia Antipolis, France Austin, TX 78712, USA Abstract-In multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU- channels is worse than the one in i.i.d. channels. In this MIMO) systems, spatial multiplexing can be employed to increase paper we investigate the spatial correlation of measured MU- the throughput without the need for multiple antennas and MIMO channels for both outdoor and indoor scenarios. We expensive signal processing at the user equipments. In theory, MU-MIMO is also more immune to most of propagation limita- also compare the performance of different linear MU-MIMO tions plaguing single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) systems, such as precoding schemes, such as zero-forcing (ZF) and regularized channel rank loss or antenna correlation. However, in this paper inversion (also called MMSE precoder) [5]. we show that this is not always true. We compare the capacity Realistic MU-MIMO channel measurements have been ob- and the correlation of measured MU-MIMO channels for both tained using Eurecom's MIMO Openair Sounder (EMOS) outdoor and indoor scenarios. The measurement data has been acquired using Eurecom's MIMO
