Utilizing Non-Orthogonal Polarization With Polarization Reuse Technique for 4 × 4 MIMO Capacity Enhancement

5G communication promises fast and large data stream which requires higher capacity of a cellular wireless network. A higher capacity could be achieved with wider bandwidth and network densification, but they are expensive approaches. Instead, upgrading the wireless network with higher-order Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna system with polarization diversity can inexpensively escalate the peak data rate for higher capacity. We present a $4\times 4$ MIMO cellular network scheme utilizing polarization reuse and using 4 polarization to reform the cellular network from current state of the art of dual polarization $4\times 4$ MIMO scheme. 4 Polarization (vertical, Horizontal, ±45° slant) is used in 2 orthogonal polarization pair form, with a beam-separation among pair, to intensify polarization diversity and maximize the MIMO network channel capacity. This beam-separated polarization reuse technique minimizes the channel correlation which maximizes the probability of four independent data streams (rank 4). The simulated result of the channel capacity with the proposed scheme achieves a 30% higher capacity compared to the baseline configuration of 3-sector $4\times 4$ MIMO. The field trial of the presented network indicates a higher portion of rank 4, supporting four independent data streams in the rich scattering environment of a cellular network.
