Xilinx ETS 2014 Demo: Massive MIMO Wi-Fi Channel Characterization

The Rice Argos (http://argos.rice.edu) team partnered with Mango Communications to present a Massive MIMO Wi-Fi Channel Characterization demo at the Xilinx Emerging Technology Symposium 2014. This demo combines the Rice Argos v2 massive MIMO testbed with the Mango 802.11 Reference Design to capture and analyze channel estimates between the array and Wi-Fi clients in real-time.

The demo uses the 96-antenna Argos v2 array. The array is built around 24 quad-antenna WARP nodes, each node consisting of a WARP v3 kit and [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/FMC-RF-2X245 FMC-RF-2X245 module. Each node in the array runs the 802.11 Reference Design in receive-only mode. The array elements receive every Wi-Fi packet, decode the packet to identify the transmitting client, then report the client identity and the corresponding per-subcarrier channel estimates to a host PC for processing.
