Millimeter Wave MISO-OFDM transmissions in an Intra-Wagon Environment

In this paper, the maximum achievable throughput is analyzed in the intra-wagon channel when multiple-input single-output (MISO) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), MISO-OFDM, techniques are used.

Description
Summary:In this paper, the maximum achievable throughput is analyzed in the intra-wagon channel when multiple-input single-output (MISO) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), MISO-OFDM, techniques are used. This analysis is performed from real wideband propagation channel measurements at 28 and 37 GHz, two potential frequency bands to deploy the future fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications networks. Four different scenarios in terms of the access point (AP) and user equipment (UE) positions inside the wagon have been considered, using 4 and 8 antennas at the AP. The performance of both quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QSTBC), combined with Hadamard matrices, and transmit beamforming techniques is studied and evaluated from simulation results. The simulation results take into account the signalto- noise ratio (SNR) and the antenna correlation for each antenna array configuration at the AP. These results provide useful insight to better understand the intra-wagon channel properties and deploy the future 5G wireless networks in this particular scenario at mmWave frequencies, where high-data-rates are expected to support different types of digital applications.
