1 Scope p. 6
The present document is the technical report for the study item on MIMO OTA, which was approved at TSG RAN#43 [2]. The scope of the SI is to define a 3GPP methodology for measuring the radiated performance of multiple antenna reception and MIMO receivers in the UE. The test methodology should be relevant for HSPA and LTE technologies, with particular focus on handheld devices and devices embedded in laptop computers.
