M5HESTIA is organized in 5 workpacakges
- WP1: Project managment and dissemination
- WP2: Antenna design and RF architecture
- WP3: Propagation channel and Modelleing
- WP4: Baseband signal processing
- WP5: Baseband implementation and platform integration
M5HESTIA is carried out in parallel with M5 b<>com project
Common objectives:
- Comparison between different multi-user massive-MIMO processing techniques, by using the propagation channel model provided by the M5HESTIA project
- Integration, in the HW platform under development by IRT (5M), of the M-MIMO system developed in the framework of M5HESTIA
To reach these objectives, several advanced antenna systems have been designed and/or implemented in M5HESTIA:
- One Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) system for channel sounding under M-MIMO conditions and further channel characterisation and modelling,
- One Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) system to be implemented in the M-MIMO HW platform and used to demonstrate SDMA in the 60-GHz band.
Main project interests
- For studying hybrid techniques the complementarity of the various expertises is essential: antennas, propagation, signal processing
- This rich partership (academics and industrial) allows for
- interesting proof of concept with important IRT b<>com means in terms of platform
- identification of industrials needs in mmWave thanks to Orange
