Sum Rate Analysis of MU-MIMO with a 3D MIMO Base Station Exploiting Elevation Features

Although the three-dimensional (3D) channel model considering the elevation factor has been used to analyze the performance of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems, less attention is paid to the effect of the elevation variation. In this paper, we elaborate the sum rate of MU-M...

Description
Summary:Although the three-dimensional (3D) channel model considering the elevation factor has been used to analyze the performance of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems, less attention is paid to the effect of the elevation variation. In this paper, we elaborate the sum rate of MU-MIMO systems with a 3D base station (BS) exploiting different elevations. To illustrate clearly, we consider a high-rise building scenario. Due to the floor height, each floor corresponds to an elevation. Therefore, we can analyze the sum rate performance for each floor and discuss its effect on the performance of the whole building. This work can be seen as the first attempt to analyze the sum rate performance for high-rise buildings in modern city and used as a reference for infrastructure.
