Analysis of Phase Evolution Impact in SIMO Operation in Distributed Transceiver Systems

In order to enable context aware environments within the Internet of Things paradigm, distributed transceiver systems capable of providing low cost, low latency capabilities are required. Single Input Multiple Output systems provide an adequate solution by enabling non-coherent energy based detection. Phase distributions play a key role in transceiver location and hence overall system operation. In this work, SIMO operation based on volumetric phase analysis is performed on indoor scenarios, employing deterministic 3D Ray Launching channel estimation. The proposed methodology enables the estimation of system performance as a function of distributed transceiver location, aiding in network planning and deployment tasks.
