    Study Notes

    MIMO Introduction

    • MIMO systems use multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver for a single channel.
    • The system can be defined by spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing.

    What is MIMO?

    • Technology that utilizes multiple antennas at both the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) stations.

    Spatial Diversity

    • Signal copies are transmitted from multiple antennas or received at multiple antennas.
    • This redundancy is achieved by employing an antenna array with spacing of at least λ/2 between adjacent antennas.
    • This improves reliability (signal quality) by mitigating the negative effects of fading and mitigating the negative effects of fading.

    Spatial Multiplexing

    • Systems can carry multiple data streams over the same frequency simultaneously.
    • Increases data rate and spectral efficiency.

    Why MIMO?

    • Improves performance in wireless systems.
    • Benefits:
      • Increased spectral efficiency and data rates.
      • Improved Quality of Service (QoS).
      • Wider coverage.
    • Wireless channels are challenging, facing issues like:
      • Co-channel interference.
      • Signal level fading.
      • Limited bandwidth.
      • Power attenuation with distance.

    MIMO System Solutions

    • Utilizing MIMO systems overcomes these challenges:
      • Diversity gain mitigates fading, increasing coverage and improving QoS.
      • Multiplexing gain improves capacity and spectral efficiency without requiring extra power or bandwidth.
      • Array gain boosts average receive Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR).

    Spatial Multiplexing Gain

    • MIMO channels can be broken down into multiple parallel independent channels.
    • The principle of spatial multiplexing is transmitting independent data signals from different antennas to increase throughput and capacity.

    MIMO Capacity on Fading Channels

    • Capacity increases can be observed in MIMO systems compared to Single-Input Single-Output (SISO), Single-Input Multiple-Output (SIMO), and Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO).
    • SISO Capacity: given by Shannon’s formula:
      • C = B log2(1 + SNR * h^2)
      • Where B is Bandwidth and h is the fading gain.
    • SIMO Capacity (M transmit antennas):
      • C = B log2(1 + SNR * ∑(hn^2))
      • where n = 1 to M.
    • MISO Capacity (M transmit antennas):
      • C = B log2(1 + (SNR/N) * ∑(hn^2))
      • where n = 1 to N.

    MIMO Capacity on Fading Channels (cont.)

    • MIMO Capacity (Tx antennas = Rx antennas = N):
      • Channel Not Known at Transmitter:
        • C = N log2(1 + (Es/(Nσ^2)) * h^2)
        • Es is total power, σ^2 is AWGN noise level.
        • Power is equally shared among channels.
        • Capacity increases linearly with antenna number.
      • Channel Known at Transmitter:
        • C = ∑(log2(1 + (En/σ^2) * hn^2))
        • where n = 1 to N.
        • Power allocation is based on waterfilling, giving more power to strong sub-channels with lower noise levels.

    Average Capacity of a MIMO Rayleigh Fading Channel

    • Average Capacity (bits/s/Hz) increases with increasing SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and the number of antennas (Tx and Rx).

    Spatial Diversity

    • Enhances signal quality by achieving higher SNR at the receiver.
    • The principle of diversity relies on transmitting structured redundancy.

    MIMO Diversity and Reliability

    • MIMO systems improve SNR and error probability significantly compared to SISO, SIMO, and MISO.
    • Detailed Calculations, not covered here, show the improvements in SNR and error probability for:
      • SISO:
        • SNR = SNR * h^2
      • SIMO:
        • SNR = SNR * ∑(hi^2)
      • MISO:
        • SNR = SNR * ∑(hj^2)
      • MIMO:
        • SNR = SNR * λ_min(H)
        • Where λ_min(H) is the minimum eigenvalue of the channel matrix.

    Benefits of MIMO

    • Lower susceptibility to eavesdropping due to multiple antennas and advanced algorithms.
