Abstract

In this chapter, we use the simulation methodology described in the previous chapter to evaluate the network performance of different MIMO architectures. We evaluate the performance of increasingly sophisticated systems, beginning with independent bases each with a single antenna, moving to independent bases with multiple antennas, and concluding with coordinated bases. In the final section of this chapter, we synthesize the conclusions for the various scenarios and outline a strategy for cellular network design under different environments.
