surements when this is possible. The methods developed for single-antenna characterization can be taken a step further to evaluate the performance of different multiantenna setups and algo- rithms-for example, diversity combining. These diversity measurements require a fading environment and are therefore perfectly suited for reverberation chambers. If base-station simulators are used for measurements, it is even possible to investigate the performance of different antenna setups-not only in terms of power gains, but also in terms of BER. Current state-of-the-art measurements in reverberation chambers even include throughput measurements of wireless systems. Although link measurements of wireless systems in reverberation chambers are nowadays well established and even made their way into standardization, there are still many ongoing research activities that relate, for example, to improving the accuracy of the chamber further. With the evolution of wireless standards, the attractiveness of reverberation chambers for link/system evaluation increases. Possible extensions of existing measurement techniques with focus on LTE and beyond systems are presented at the end of this chapter. A lot of potential for fur- ther development lies particularly in manipulating the channel in the reverberation chamber to a larger extent and to using the chamber for multiple terminal and multiple base-station setups. The chapter ends by describing several new ways of measuring 3GPP LTE parameters and technologies that mainly are simulated in software today as real- life measurements (e.g., drives tests) are too complicated and time consuming. However, many of these parameters (e.g., multiuser MIMO, opportunistic sched- uling, and multiple base-station handovers) should be easy to measure in the rever- beration chamber. © 2009 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Chapter 2 Evolution from TD-SCDMA to FuTURE Ping Zhang, Xiaodong Xu, and Lihua Li Contents FuTURE Project in China 2.1.1 Background of FuTURE Project 2.1.2 Features of FuTURE Syste
