摘要:

本文通过对硬件和系统级需求(如处理复杂度、嵌入模式和帧结构)的研究,建立了一个大规模多输入多输出(MIMO)测试平台的设计框架。考虑到这些,提出了一种通用的系统和处理分区,其允许灵活的缩放和处理分布到多个物理上分离的设备上。基于给定的硬件约束,如最大数量的链接和最大吞吐量的对等互连与处理能力相结合,该框架允许评估模块化的硬件组件。为了验证我们的设计方法,我们提出了LuMaMi(隆德大学大规模MIMO)的测试床,它构成了第一个可重构的实时的【形】硬件平台原型大规模MIMO。利用多达100个基站天线和超过50个现场可编程门阵列,使用类似LTE的正交频分复用基于时分双工的传输方案在相同的时间/频率资源上服务多达12个用户设备。该系统的概念验证测试表明,大规模MIMO可以利用相同的时间/频率资源同时服务于静态室内和静态室外环境中的众多用户。

英文摘要:

This paper sets up a framework for designing a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) testbed by investigating hardware (HW) and system-level requirements such as processing complexity, duplexing mode and frame structure. Taking these into account, a generic system and processing partitioning is proposed which allows flexible scaling and processing distribution onto a multitude of physically separated devices. Based on the given HW constraints such as maximum number of links and maximum throughput for peer-to-peer interconnections combined with processing capabilities, the framework allows to evaluate modular HW components. To verify our design approach, we present the LuMaMi (Lund University Massive MIMO) testbed which constitutes the first reconfigurable real-time HW platform for prototyping massive MIMO. Utilizing up to 100 base station antennas and more than 50 Field Programmable Gate Arrays, up to 12 user equipments are served on the same time/frequency resource using an LTE-like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing time-division duplex-based transmission scheme. Proof-of-concept tests with this system show that massive MIMO can simultaneously serve a multitude of users in a static indoor and static outdoor environment utilizing the same time/frequency resource.
