Wireless Channel Characteristics • Fading: Multiple Paths with different phases add up at the receiver resulting in a random path gain • ISI: Paths with different delays causing intersymbol interference (Frequency Selective Channels) • CCI: Co-Channel users create interference • Noise: Thermal noise from electronics • Doppler: Channel varies over time (mobility) • Bandwidth: Bandwidth limited and so data rates can grow only as log(1 + SNR)
Mobile Mobile Base station Base station Mobile Mobile Mobile Space-Time Processing for Wireless Communications Goal: Exploit the spatial dimension to improve capacity and quality of network
Benefits of Space-Time Processing • Increased Capacity • Improved Signal Quality • Increased Coverage • Lower Power Consumption • Higher Data Rates These requirements are often conflicting. Need balancing to maximize system performance
Technical Rationale • Spatial Diversity to Combat Fading • Spatial Signature for Interference Suppression • Array Gain enables Lower Power Consumption • Multiple Transmit Antennas provide Transmit Diversity • Capacity Improvements using Spatial Multiplexing
Scenarios • Base Station or Mobile • Receive versus Transmit Antennas • MIMO systems • Choice of Multiple Access Scheme (CDMA or TDMA) • Microcell versus Macrocell • Mobility versus Fixed
Role of Diversity Two Fading Channels combined to improve SNR: Diversity gain
