A Novel Spatial Modulation Using MIMO Spatial Multiplexing A Novel Spatial Modulation Using MIMO Spatial Multiplexing Rajab M. Legnain, Roshdy H.M. Hafez, Ian D. Marsland Abdelgader M.

Box 1080, Blindern N-0316 Oslo, Norway Email: jabrana@ifi.uio.no David Gesbert Mobile Communications Department Eurecom´ Institute 2229 Route des Cretes,ˆ BP 193 F-06904 Sophia Antipolis Cede´ x, France Email: [email protected] This work was supported by a research contract with Telenor R&D. A version of this paper was presented at Globecom 2003. 2 Abstract This paper addresses the problem of MIMO spatial-multiplexing (SM) systems in the presence of antenna fading correlation. Existing SM (V-BLAST and related) schemes rely on the linear independence of transmit antenna channel responses for stream separation and suffer considerably from high levels of fading correlation. As a result such algorithms simply fail to extract the non-zero capacity that is present even in highly correlated spatial channels. We make the simple but key point that just one transmit antenna is needed to send several independent streams if those streams are appropriately superposed to form a high-order modulation (e.g. two 4-QAM signals form a 16-QAM)! The concept builds upon constellation multiplexing (CM) [1] whereby distinct QAM streams are superposed to form a higher-order constellation with rate equivalent to the sum of rates of all original streams. In contrast to SM transmission, the substreams in CM schemes are differentiated through power scaling rather than through spatial signatures. We build on this idea to present a new transmission scheme based on a precoder adjusting the phase and power of the input constellations in closed-form as a function of the antenna correlation.

In this paper, MIMO Spatial Multiplexing technique is analyzed for different antenna configurations (2×2, 3×3, 4×4) in AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel using higher order modulation techniques (M-PSK, M-QAM). The Zero Forcing detector is employed at the receiving end. The performance of MIMO SM technique is compared for different antenna configurations and simulated results shows that 0-2 db increment in SNR (Signal to Noise ratio) is required if antenna configuration is changed from 2×2 to 3×3 and 0-3 db increment in SNR is required if antenna configurations are changed from 3×3 to 4×4.

  • MIMO Enhancements for Air-To-Ground Wireless Communications
    University of California Los Angeles MIMO Enhancements for Air-to-Ground Wireless Communications A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering by Jesse Thomas Chen 2014 c Copyright by Jesse Thomas Chen 2014 Abstract of the Dissertation MIMO Enhancements for Air-to-Ground Wireless Communications by Jesse Thomas Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Babak Daneshrad, Chair In order to introduce the benefits of Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless so- lutions into the airborne environment for maximal effect, the airborne channel must be fully understood. While there have been theoretical models proposed for the airborne channel, there has been very little work toward providing a practical channel model which has been validated by actual an airborne platform. This work presents a characterization of practical performance gains of a MIMO sys- tem over a conventional SISO, in a mobile air-to-ground environment. Field measurements were collected with an airborne 4x4 MIMO-OFDM channel-sounding platform at altitudes, speeds and flight patterns approximating medium-endurance vehicles flying over various ter- rain. Ground stations placed in multiple locations (different scattering scenarios) measured channel responses in addition to actual throughput statistics. Our studies indicate that sig- nificant throughput and range gains are achievable with MIMO. We also show that depending on application requirements, these MIMO-enabled gains can be converted into considerable power savings. We also present a study of the effects of introducing MIMO-enabled signaling techniques (such as eigen beamforming and spatial multiplexing) on the total link-capacity of a system of uncoordinated, air-to-ground link-pairs deployed to a single area of operations.

  • Maximizing LTE Performance with MIMO Systems
    Degree project Maximizing LTE performance with MIMO systems Author: Praveen Vunnam Supervisor: Sven Nordebo Examiner: Sven Nordebo Date: 2016-11-18 Course Code: 5ED06E Subject: Master thesis in electrical Engineering Level: Master Department Of Physics and Electrical engineering 1 Abstract The project explains Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems when used with Multiple-Input, Multiple- Output (MIMO) fulfill the growing demands in throughput and system robustness for the user. This is investigated by understanding the throughput capacity of LTE down-links in both spatial multiplexing and transmission diversity mode. The performance downgrades in LTE frame is analyzed. All the simulations are done in MATLAB. The simulations include Bit Error Rate (BER) being verified for values of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). MIMO systems use more than one antenna configuration for sending and receiving radio signals of the same frequency. The concept of beam forming may be utilized by MIMO systems. This is done by employing more than one antenna at both the ends namely transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx). The use of multiple antennas will achieve higher capacity and better cell coverage. MIMO technologies, when used in LTE, provide better down-link peak rates, cell coverage, and enhanced average cell throughput. LTE offers increased capacity while using standard antenna technique. This technique provides two vital aspects namely, spatial multiplexing (SM) and transmits diversity (TD). The project also explores the effect of different parameters namely, the speed of mobile station, the number of Multipath, Rician factor (K) on throughput is discussed and reported. The report evaluates the performance of LTE using MIMO in order to explain LTE system capacity, average cell throughput of LTE at different bandwidths and BER performance against SNR.

  • Wavenumber-Division Multiplexing in Line-Of-Sight Holographic MIMO Communications
    1 Wavenumber-Division Multiplexing in Line-of-Sight Holographic MIMO Communications Luca Sanguinetti, Senior Member, IEEE, Antonio Alberto D’Amico, Merouane Debbah, Fellow, IEEE Abstract The ultimate performance of any wireless communication system is limited by electromagnetic principles and mechanisms. Motivated by this, we start from the first principles of wave propagation and consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) representation of a communication system between two spatially-continuous volumes of arbitrary shape and position. This is the concept of holographic MIMO communications. The analysis takes into account the electromagnetic noise field, generated by external sources, and the constraint on the physical radiated power. The electromagnetic MIMO model is particularized for a system with parallel linear sources and receivers in line-of-sight conditions. Inspired by orthogonal-frequency division-multiplexing, we assume that the spatially-continuous transmit currents and received fields are represented using the Fourier basis functions. In doing so, a wavenumber-division multiplexing (WDM) scheme is obtained whose properties are studied with the conventional tools of linear systems theory. Particularly, the interplay among the different system parameters (e.g., transmission range, wavelength, and sizes of source and receiver) in terms of number of communication modes and level of interference is studied. Due to the non-finite support of the electromagnetic channel, we prove that the interference-free condition can only be achieved when the receiver size grows to infinity. The spectral efficiency of WDM is evaluated via the singular-value decomposition architecture with water- filling and compared to that of a simplified architecture, which uses linear processing at the receiver and suboptimal power allocation.
