Abstract

Mobile users scattered in a microcell and communicating with co-located base station antennas, may cause a severe near-far problem for an uplink space division multiple access (SDMA) system. Also correlations within the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channel matrix, in such uplink SDMA propagation scenario, can cause significant degradation in system performance. In this paper, we investigate the above problems. We propose to distribute the base station antennas, as multi- antenna arrays, at different sites in the microcell and deploy a correlation reduction algorithm. A significant improvement in the performance of the SDMA system is evident.
