5/93 Review of MIMO Technology

6/93 Single antenna links: Shannon capacity “It is dangerous to put limits on wireless” Guglielmo Marconi, 1932 • The information-theoretic capacity of single-antenna links is limited by the link’s signal to noise ratio according to Shannon’s celebrated formula • Capacity grows logarithmically with the Tx power (i.e. to go from 1bps/Hz to 11 bps/Hz, the Tx power must be roughly increased by ~1000 times!) •Disclaimer: TX RX 2 log (1 SNR) [bps/Hz] C = + s k ( ) x k ( ) C. Shannon Bell Laboratories Technical Journal, 1950

7/93 Multiple antenna links • Keeping the game fair: total Tx power should remain the same • Questions: (1) What is the corresponding capacity? (2) How should we transmit from the different antennas? (3) How should the receiver operate? TX 1 RX 1 TX 2 RX 2 TX M RX N s k 1 ( ) s k 2 ( ) s k M ( ) x k 1 ( ) x k 2 ( ) x k N ( )

8/93 • We are primarily interested in the case where: – The transmitter only knows the channel statistics but not the channel realization H. This is sometimes referred to as ‘‘open-loop’’ operation – We also assume a coherent receiver that knows perfectly the MIMO channel H • The mutual information with equal power transmission from each antenna (a pragmatic popular approach), is ‘‘Open-loop’’ MIMO † 2 log det T o N n P C I M σ ⎧ ⎫ = + ⎨ ⎬ ⎩ ⎭ HH (see [Foschini ’96] [Foschini & Gans ’98][Telatar ’99] )

9/93 • The capacity can be written equivalently as: • This leads to the following equivalent representation of the MIMO channel in terms of independent component channels (often called ‘‘spatial modes’’): The Spatial Multiplexing Effect 2 2 2 1 1 SNR log 1 log 1 r r T o i i i i n P C M M λ λ σ = = ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ = + = + ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ∑ ∑ where are the eigenvalues of the channel matrix and is the rank of .

73/93 www.ait.edu.gr Spatial Multiplexing (SM) via Antenna Switching (AS) Motivation 1. Next generation wireless terminals (e.g. LTE and WIMAX) will use most probably a single antenna for uplink versus four antennas for downlink. Hence: There is no real MIMO for the uplink Transmission 2. We at AIT have some experience in designing an antenna switch system on the node level. Hence: A MIMO (SM or STBC) can be implemented using a switch antenna system during transmission whereas antenna selection diversity is used during reception. O. N. Alrabadi, C. B. Papadias, A.

88/93 www.ait.edu.gr Multi-User MIMO: Base-Station Capacity Enhancement Motivation: Number of Simultaneously Served Users is Upper-bounded by the Number of BS-Antennas Proposed Idea: Surround Each Active Antenna with two or three parasitic elements (PE), and external control circuit Requirement: Each Array (the single active and its PE) should be placed at sufficient distance from each other, so no mutual coupling among the arrays takes place. Proposed Topology: Collinear Topology Precoding Matrix (W): A block-diagonalizing matrix is proposed, so that the orthonormality of the basis is not destroyed.

89/93 www.ait.edu.gr Cognitive Radios (CR) By integrating Compact and Cheap Parasitic Arrays in the user’s handhelds, the spatially aware terminals can enhance the whole system capacity via 1. Interference reduction via null steering is controlled via cheap varactors. 2. Robust performance is done via space-time coding, and adaptive modulation. 3. Capacity attainment is done via spatial multiplexing and high M-array signaling. 4. Low-cost receiver diversity is done via angular diversity. 5. Beam-steering or beam-selection is implemented under poor MIMO channel conditions. 6. Hidden Terminal Problem is Solved by Scanning the Space Using a Directive Rotating Beam. Broadband ESPAR Arrays and Multi-band Parasitic Arrays are already Available.
