MIMO channel capacity for fixed wireless: measurements and models

Recent breakthroughs in the application of information theory have shown great capacity increase by deploying multiple transmitting and multiple receiving antennas as compared to conventional single antenna systems. This work presents an experimental verification of the theoretical capacity prediction and a summary of measurement results for 16 fixed wireless locations in suburban New Jersey.
