Distributed Massive MIMO Setup in Industrial Environment

University of Stuttgart

A transmitter is mounted on a robot which moves around in a factory hall. There is a distributed massive MIMO receiver antenna array setup (four antenna arrays on a stand with 2x4 antennas each) in the hall. There are several scatterers which are typical for industrial environments (forklifts, machines, ...) inside the factory hall, producing channel impulse responses typical for LoS and NLoS channels, depending on the TX and RX positions.
Highly precise 3D ground truth positions for TX and RX antennas, captured with a tachymeter, are available.
