The simulator can be used for LTE and WLAN 802.11ac applications, in indoor and outdoor environments. In this paper, the input signals parameters and the relative power of the impulse responses are related to the relative error and SNR of the output signals. After analyzing the influence of these parameters on the output error and SNR, an algorithm based on an Auto-Scale Factor (ASF) is analyzed in details to improve the precision of the output signals of the hardware simulator digital block architecture. Moreover, the circuit needed for the validation of this algorithm has been introduced, verified and realized. It is shown that this solution increases the output SNR if the relative powers of the impulse responses are attenuated. The new architecture of the digital block is presented and implemented on a Xilinx Virtex-IV FPGA. The occupation on the FPGA and the accuracy of the architecture are analyzed.展开更多

With a hardware simulator it is possible to freely simulate a desired type of a radio channel and making it possible to test “on table” mobile radio equipment. This paper presents an architecture for the digital block of a hardware simulator of MIMO propagation channels. This simulator can be used for LTE and WLAN IEEE 802.11ac applications, in indoor and outdoor environments. However, in this paper, specific architecture of the digital block of the simulator is presented to characterize a scenario indoor to outdoor using TGn channel models. The switching between each environment in the scenario must be made in a continuous manner. Therefore, an algorithm is designed to pass from a considered impulse response in the environment to another in other environment. The architecture of the digital block of the hardware simulator is presented and implemented on a Xilinx Virtex-IV FPGA. Moreover, the impulse responses are transferred into the simulator. The accuracy, the occupation on the FPGA and the latency of the architecture are analyzed.展开更多

The system avoids placing highly correlated users in space into the same spatial multiplexing group. This paper describes a user spatial compatibility evaluation criterion based on channel matrix structure analysis. The interferences are evaluated using the distances between subspaces spanned by the users＇ channel matrixes. The analysis considers row space and column space. Simulation results show that the row space distance criterion significantly outperforms other criteria because it fully utilizes the information from the users＇ channel matrixes. As the dimensions of the users＇ channel matrixes increase, the matrix structure analysis-based criteria become even more efficient.展开更多
