我们在莱斯大学校园内构建并部署了一个多小区网络测试平台，名为ArgosNet。虽然ArgosNet是高度可配置的，但其默认配置采用四个100天线基站，以3.7 GHz的频率为40个电池供电的移动的客户端提供服务。在ArgosNet中，基站是时间频率同步的，并与服务器集群有直接的光纤连接，从而实现了协调多点（CoMP）等先进的无线技术。我们扩展了Argos信道测量系统以支持多小区拓扑，然后进行了初始测量，显示了多天线MU-MIMO网络中的CoMP性能。
We built and deployed a multi-cell network testbed of massive-MIMO base stations across Rice University campus, called ArgosNet. While ArgosNet is highly configurable, its default configuration employs four 100-antenna base stations to serve 40 battery-powered mobile clients at 3.7 GHz. In ArgosNet, the base stations are time-frequency synchronized and have direct fiber connections to a server cluster, enabling advanced wireless techniques such as Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP). We extended the Argos channel measurement system to support multi-cell topologies, then conducted initial measurements showing the performance of CoMP in many-antenna MU-MIMO networks.
