Abstract:
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems are poised to have large impact in commercial and government wireless networks. MIMO systems provide improved capacity and/or reliability by leveraging the spatial degrees of freedom available in the wireless channel. In this half-day tutorial, we will provide an introduction to multiple-input multiple-output wireless communications.
This presentation will give attendees an overview of the communication theory and signal processing techniques that make MIMO communication possible. Both single-user and multiuser MIMO signaling will be discussed.
The detailed topics covered will include:
- Introduction to MIMO
- Open-Loop MIMO (Space-Time Codes and Spatial Multiplexing)
- MIMO Decoding/Detection
- Closed-loop MIMO
- Multiuser MIMO
- MIMO-OFDM
