EMITE announces the statement of carriers in favor of using mode-stirred reverberation chambers for LTE MIMO OTA assessment. Telefonica, Orange, NTT DoCoMo, KT, SoftBank Mobile and SK Telecom stated at the 3GPP meeting in Fukuoka, Japan, that
"Based on the analysis provided in this contribution, it is concluded that the test condition based on 3D isotropic channel models (described in Annex C of [1]) is representative of realistic use case and is relevant and useful for MIMO OTA performance evaluation and should therefore be included as normative part of the TR [1]. This would allow to progress on the finalization of the reverberation chamber test method in the ongoing MIMO OTA work item."
This represents an unheard-off support for reverberation chamber standardization as no other test method has obtained this level of support.
