Summary:
Wireless communication systems that use Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) architectures can achieve very high spectral efficiencies. Evaluation of the channel capacity for these systems requires an accurate characterization of the radio propagation environment. In this paper, a three dimensional ray tracing method is used to evaluate the channel capacity of MIMO systems in a subway tunnels. This deterministic method is able to tack into account the dependency of the channel capacity on the characteristics of the real propagation environment which is not possible by statistical methods.
