Performance of an LTE femtocell base station employing uplink antenna selection

Abstract: This paper presents experimental evaluation results from a practical LTE-FDD femtocell base-station employing uplink antenna switching. The effects of different antenna training and channel variation rates are analysed under realistic propagation conditions. Significant performance gains in terms of average receiver SINR and error rates are observed for the antenna selection receiver, especially at low mobile terminal speeds typical of indoor femtocell applications. These results demonstrate the effectiveness … Show more

“…Ongoing figures gave [37] foresee that there will be up to 70 million little cells, including FBSs, sent by 2017. Their interest has driven some to foresee that in the following 10-multiyear time allotment the quantity of BS including SBSs will surpass the quantity of mobile phone endorsers [38]. It is consequently certain that there is a need to address the vitality productivity of the SBS, especially outfitted with various heterogeneous femtocell, as conceivably tremendous systems of little cells are conveyed.…”

“…Commercial baseband solutions (modems) are also used to deploy measurement campaigns of specific end scenarios. For instance, in , performance measurements are presented for an LTE‐frequency division duplexing (FDD) femtocell system, where an uplink (UL) antenna selection technique (at RF‐level) is used to combat interference from neighbouring macrocells. The testbed is fully based on COTS and features a 10 MHz BW, utilising a real‐time multi‐channel emulator to achieve a scenario with UE mobility.…”

“…In addition, there are setups that use COTS end-products that include the baseband modems as well, allowing a full real-time operation of the system. For instance, the authors in [9] analyse the performance gains of an uplink antenna selection technique in a LTE-FDD femtocell system, where a channel emulator provides mobility conditions. Similarly, in [10] it is measured and modelled the level of interference caused by indoor LTE-based femtocells through an exhaustive measurement campaign, including UE mobility and a wide range of different femto-BS locations.…”
