ABSTRACT


The optimal antenna location for maximizing the channel capacity is searched by particle swarm optimizer (PSO). There are two different receiver locations considered in the simulation. The receivers are located with uniform intervals distribution (i) on the tables; (ii) in the whole indoor environment. Numerical results have shown that our proposed method is effect to find the optimal location for transmitting antenna to maximizing the channel capacity.


Keywords: MIMO-WLAN, PSO, Channel Capacity, SBR/Image Method
