Abstract
[Abstract]: The experimental evaluation of the WiMAX downlink physical layer in high-mobility scenarios is extremely difficult to carry out because it requires the realization of measurement campaigns with expensive fast-moving vehicles. In this work, however, we succeeded in doing such an experimental evaluation with a low-mobility vehicle. The key idea is the enlargement of the symbol period prior to its transmission over the air. Such enlargement reduces the frequency spacing between the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers in WiMAX transmissions and hence induces significant inter-carrier interference (ICI) on the received signals. The performance impact of such ICI in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM) and throughput is analyzed under different conditions like the use of multiple antennas, the placement of the receive antennas, or the accuracy of the channel information to adapt the transmission rate.
