  2. What is multi-antenna all about? Phased Array MTMR MIMO SDMA Smart antenna Beamfoming Null steering Space-time coding Adaptive array

  4. The indoor propagation channel is best served by space/frequency processing The MIMO hype: a critical review A smart MIMO solution adapts to scene and user needs A smart MIMO-OFDM system is key for 4G high-speed WLANs

  5. delay dispersion Attenuation (dB) user terminal delay Need for ISI mitigation base station angle dispersion Need for full ST processing DoA beamforming not suited The indoor channel suffers from severe multipath propagation

  6. Indoor channel characterized by spatial and frequency selectivity Angular response Frequency response Time response

Stream 2 Stream 2 MIMO with RX post-processing SDM/SDMA enables higher data rates/more users • Simple receiver • TX-CSI needed • Reciprocal transceiver at TX • MIMO-TX  SDMA-DL • No TX-CSI needed • Better for time- varying channels • More complex receiver (SIC,ML) • MIMO-RX  SDMA-UL ( Joint TX-RX processing possible )

  9. H AP or UT UT or AP MIMOSpace-time encoding MIMOSpace-time Decoding 1 Stream 1 Stream MIMO with Space-time (block) coding Space-time coding enableslarger range and/or less Tx power • No TX-CSI needed • ML receiver with simple linear processing • No rate enhancement (rate 1 only for Nant = 2) • Also applies to any number of receive antennas • Space-time or space-frequency

  10. Can we conquer the wireless MIMO channel? Can we get the MIMO solution that meets the actual needs (rate/range, multi-user capacity, power)? Can DSP complexity be mastered? Can front-end cost and power be acceptable? Can it elegantly bring its benefits in current systems and standards? Why be skeptical about MIMO?

  12. SDMA multiplies cell capacity A smart MIMO system adapts to scene and actual user needs (2) Reference SISO case: Pdc, mobile = 1, Rmax = 54 Mbps, Dist max = 1 SDMbrings higher throughput in DL/UL STBC brings robustness

  13. SDMA multiplies cell capacity for single-antenna terminals Reference SISO case: Pdc, mobile = 1, Rmax = 54 Mbps, D max = 1 • Downlink SDMA: Nant X Rmax • Uplink TDMA:PTx-dc, mobile = 0.1-0.8 • ComplexityMobileTerm = SISO • ComplexityBasestation: • digital = Nant x SISO • analog = 0.9 Nant x SISO

  14. STBC brings increased robustness Reference SISO case: Pdc, mobile = 1, Rmax = 54 Mbps, D max = 1 STBC brings Robustness almost for free

  15. SDM brings higher throughput Reference SISO case: Pdc, mobile = 1, Rmax = 54 Mbps, D max = 1 • NT = NR = Nant • Throughputmax: Nant X Rmax, D = up to 2 • ComplexityMobileTerm = • digital = 0.75 Nant x SISO • analog = 0.9 Nant x SISO • ComplexityBasestation: • digital = Nant x SISO • analog = 0.9 Nant x SISO
