Many concepts for future generations of wireless communication systems use coherent processing of signals from many distributed antennas. The aim is to improve communication reliability, capacity, and energy efficiency and provide possibilities for new applications through integrated communication and sensing. The large bandwidths available in the higher bands have inspired much work regarding sensing in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-THz bands; however, the sub-6 GHz cellular bands will still be the main provider of wide cellular coverage due to the more favorable propagation conditions. In this paper, we present a measurement system and results of sub-6 GHz distributed multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) measurements performed in an industrial environment. From the measurements, we evaluated the diversity for both large-scale and small-scale fading and characterized the link reliability. We also analyzed the possibility of multistatic sensing and positioning of users in the environment, with the initial results showing a mean-square error below 20 cm on the estimated position. Further, the results clearly showed that new channel models are needed that are spatially consistent and deal with the nonstationary channel properties among the antennas.

“…The problem of unstable signal power range [14][15]. In the past, most of the literature was on the automatic gain control algorithm, but the research on the automatic gain control system of the DRU digital domain signal power in the DAS system is relatively lacking [16][17][18][19][20][21]. This paper based on the difference between the uplink and downlink data links in the DRU Among them, the automatic power control (APC) system is researched and optimized, and board-level verification is based on FPGA In order to meet the requirement of no overflow of bit width and stable output power after carrier combining in DRU, this paper controls the power of uplink and downlink of DRU based on FPGA by counting signal power values in different time lengths.…”

In the indoor distributed antenna system, the uplink and downlink of the digital remote unit combine the multi-carrier and output, and the signal power increases after the combination. When the output power is greater than the maximum limit of the system, it may cause damage to the analog devices in the system and output wrong signals. Since the uplink and downlink are respectively oriented to the digital expansion unit and the RF analog unit, power control needs to be performed for different links respectively. Therefore, an FPGA-based uplink and downlink automatic power control technical scheme is proposed. By counting the digital signal power at different times, a short-time automatic power control module suitable for uplink and a short-time automatic power control module suitable for downlink are designed respectively. Long-time automatic power control module, which effectively solves the problem that the signal power exceeds the system threshold after combining, and ensures that the power of the output signal is basically stable. At the same time, the DSP resources are time-division multiplexed according to the multiple relationship between the sampling rate and the clock frequency, which optimizes the consumption of DSP resources. After simulation and actual test on the board, the results show that the control accuracy of the uplink output power is ≤±0.5dB, and the maximum attenuation of 8dB can be achieved. The downlink output power control accuracy is ≤±1dB, the maximum attenuation is 22dB, and the DSP resource consumption is reduced by 50% after time division multiplexing.
