Co-Located vs Distributed vs Semi-Distributed MIMO: Measurement-Based Evaluation
With the growing interest in cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the benefits of single-antenna access points (APs) versus multi-antenna APs must be analyzed in order to optimize deployment. In this paper, we compare various antenna system topologies based on achievable downlink spectral efficiency, using both measured and synthetic channel data in an indoor environment. We assume multi-user scenarios, analyzing both conjugate beamforming (or maximum-ratio transmission (MRT)) and zero-forcing (ZF) precoding methods. The results show that the semi-distributed multi-antenna APs can reduce the number of APs, and still achieve the comparable achievable rates as the fully-distributed single-antenna APs with the same total number of antennas.
