Abstract

Current advances in multi-dimensional channel sounding techniques make it possible to evaluate performances of signal processing algorithms in realistic conditions. By using channel impulse response measurement data collected in the real fields, link-level performances of signal transmission techniques in the fields such as bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) performances can be evaluated. This technique is called link-level simulation. Through statistical analysis of link-level simulation results, system-level performances of the techniques such as geographical distribution of BER and FER in the area of interest can also be evaluated. This technique is called system-level simulation. This paper focuses on link- and system-level performances of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Turbo Equalizer in real fields. Methodologies for the link- and system-level simulations using field measurement data are first presented. Results of link- and system-level simulations using two-dimensional channel sounding field measurement data collected in Tokyo are then presented.
