Summary :

This paper presents experimental results of our proposed null-space expansion scheme for multiuser massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in time varying channels. Multiuser MIMO transmission with the proposed scheme can suppress the inter-user interference (IUI) caused by outdated channel state information (CSI). The excess degrees of freedom (DoFs) of massive MIMO is exploited to perform additional null-steering using past estimated CSI. The signal-to-interference power ratio (SIR) and spectral efficiency performances achieved by the proposed scheme that uses measured CSI is experimentally evaluated. It is confirmed that the proposed scheme shows performance superior to the conventional channel prediction scheme. In addition, IUI can be stably suppressed even in high mobility environments by further increasing the null-space dimension.
