Practical performance of coded MIMO-OFDM spatial multiplexing in an actual indoor environment

By using channel data measured in an indoor environment, this paper examines the practical performance of MIMO-OFDM spatial multiplexing. From the results, we found that in a coding case the LOS condition still provides better performance than the NLOS one in the measurement site. However, it was also found that MIMO-OFDM spatial multiplexing systems in LOS environments may obtain less space-frequency diversity effect.
