Development of generalized MIMO channel models

多输入多输出（MIMO）技术是实现高速无线通信的关键技术。能够捕捉该技术的真实传播模型和传输方法的建模技术对于现代无线和移动通信系统的设计和优化至关重要。Viavi Solutions Canada Inc.是该项目的行业合作伙伴，为运营商/服务提供商开发移动网络服务测试设备，以优化其网络的运行和性能。目前，Viavi的负载测试设备没有针对实际传播场景下的不同MIMO配置使用合适的信道模型。本研究项目的目标是开发低复杂度的真实MIMO信道模型，可用于这些设备的负载测试。将开发一个仿真平台来评估不同信道模型的性能。这项研究将为Viavi提供MIMO信道模型的建议，然后Viavi将这些建议纳入其高容量移动仿真产品中。

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is a key enabler for high-speed wireless communications. Modelling techniques that can capture the realistic propagation models and transmission methods for this technology are essential for design and optimization of modern wireless and mobile communications systems. Viavi Solutions Canada Inc., the industry partner in this project, develops mobile network service test equipments for operators/service providers for optimizing the operation and performance of their networks. Currently, Viavi's load test equipments do not use proper channel models for different MIMO configurations under realistic propagation scenarios. The objective of this research project is to develop low-complexity realistic MIMO channel models which can be used by these equipments for load testing. A simulation platform will be developed to assess the performances of different channel models. This study will provide Viavi with recommendations on MIMO channel models and Viavi will then incorporate this those into their high capacity mobile emulation products.
