Abstract
Within the IST-STRIKE project the increase of the system capacity by means of multiple transmit and multiple receive antenna techniques is investigated. In particular, pre-equalization (downlink) and multi-user detection techniques (uplink) are studied for point-to-multipoint distribution links and compared to advanced space-time processing techniques for point-to-point links. A common simulation platform has been developed in order to ensure a fair comparison of the performance results of the different investigated techniques. In this paper we present the description of the common simulation platform and some of the different investigated techniques along with selected results of the investigations carried out within the IST-STRIKE project. This also includes the MIMO channel model as well as the dynamically reconfigurable simulation chain that hosts the MAC layer library. The latter was developed to investigate the impact of the multiple antenna techniques on the MAC layer.
