A Throughput Fast Measurement Method for Two-Antenna Equipped Wireless MIMO Terminals.

According to the third Generation Partnership Project specification, a period of 8-12.8 h is required to evaluate the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) performance of a wireless terminal for a single frequency point and channel model combination. The following article proposes a semi-simulation, semi-measurement-based MIMO throughput modeling scheme which can reduce the 8-12.8-h measurement time to 40-60 min, corresponding to more than a ten times improvement of the test efficiency, without loss of the test accuracy.
