Analyzing capacity of cooperative MIMO using beamforming in measured channel data

This paper focuses on capacity in cooperative base stations MIMO in a realistic MIMO channel measurement. Two widely separated base stations have been assumed in this work and measurement has been done simultaneously from both base stations to four users. The effect of beamforming on capacity in different scenarios in this novel measurement setup has been investigated. The results shows great increase in capacity after cooperation consideration and optimization applied.
