MIMO and smart antennas for mobile broadband networks

The extraordinary growth in wireless data traffic is putting immense strain on the operator’s network.

A goal of this white paper is to focus attention on the practical aspects of deploying smart antenna systems in radio access systems.

Additionally, networks are increasingly using small cells and base stations deployed indoors or below the clutter where the experience gained from decades of tower mounted antennas do not apply.

This paper also addresses the practical aspects of deploying these modern base stations with their increasingly capable antennas.
