Bridging the Gap between mimo Lab and Field Test Results

摘要

Testing mobile devices involves many phases, including the validation of the devices in the actual field conditions where subscribers will use them. However, field testing in the diverse conditions of terrain, population density, physical location and motion of devices is extremely time-consuming and costly.rnAs the wireless industry works to introduce 4G LTE and WiMAX products and solutions, field testing will be particularly important. The MIMO technology used to enhance system performance and achieve the high data rates expected will cause product performance to vary substantially depending on the RF environment.
