Investigating the performance of smart antenna systems at the mobile and base stations in the down and uplinks

Abstract

Future wireless communication systems are expected to support a wide range of services which will include video, data and voice. To achieve the necessary capacity for these systems, the use of adaptive antennas has been proposed at the base station. Further increases in capacity may be possible by including adaptive antennas at both the base and mobile stations in the up and down links. In this paper, we investigate the performance of such a system.
