Channel statistics for MIMO handsets in data mode

The presented work is based on a large dualband, dual-base outdoor-to-indoor multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel measurement campaign, involving ten different realistic MIMO handsets, held in data mode by eight test users. Various different use cases (UCs) are measured. Statistics on the channel capacity, mean effective gain (MEG), branch power ratio (BPR), and correlation coefficients between Rx, Tx, and cross-link channels are presented.
