Beamforming Simulations to Evaluate Opportunities and Challenges for 5G mmWave and FD-MIMO

In this webinar, we use Wireless InSite MIMO with new beamforming capabilities to generate FD-MIMO beams and estimate data throughput between base stations and UEs in an urban environment.  After predicting the ideal throughput for a single user as a best case, we evaluate throughput for multi-user MIMO employing beamforming to transmit simultaneously to multiple users across three small cells in a downtown urban scene.  We then give a brief review of some of the real-world challenges that beamforming systems face in their attempts to gather accurate channel state information that is critical to their success.
