Abstract: Advances in full-dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO) and 3D beamforming technologies, which are being evaluated in the 3GPP LTE-Advanced standard, promise significant capacity improvement using a 2D active array by exploiting elevation as an additional dimension inherent in the MIMO wireless system. By combining a commercial base station prototype and NI software defined radio-based user equipment, azimuth and elevation beamforming is being demonstrated in a working real-time prototype to prove the advantages of high-order multiuser MIMO. These prototypes are shaping our vision for the era of 5G and the Internet of Things with FD-MIMO enabling support for a large amount of user equipment using the same time and frequency resource simultaneously.
