March 30, 2010 – ZTE Corporation today announced that, together with CMCC (China Mobile Communications Corporation), it has successfully completed a TD-LTE indoor MIMO networking performance test in Beijing – producing the world’s first batch of TD-LTE performance evaluation data on indoor single/dual path cell throughput. The testing also produced data for indoor multi-UE circumstances.

The test evaluated the construction solution of indoor distribution systems, including whether a two-path system can achieve significant better performance than a single path system under different scenarios and user distributions. Organised by CMCC, ZTE based its results on comparative tests under several different scenarios. The testing found that, under diversified testing circumstances, a TD-LTE two-path indoor distribution system downlink throughput does show dramatic improvements compared with single path indoor distribution system. The data is valuable for the industry for TD-LTE networking construction and efficiency.

ZTE and CMCC partnered earlier this year for the Huairou field test organised by MIIT (China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology). ZTE is also taking great initiative in studying and testing MIMO utilisation probability in indoor open environments.

ZTE and CMCC will jointly deploy a TD-LTE operation network for the Expo News Centre at the World Expo Shanghai 2010. The TD-LTE network will provide high-speed wireless network services to reporters and expo staff from around the world.
