3 The problem of wireless interference User A I-Q plot: Channel Access Point (AP) A send AP receive Channel AP can estimate the channel, so can decode User A s signal ( ) 3

4 The problem of wireless interference User B I-Q plot: B send Channel AP receive AP can estimate the channel, so can decode User B s signal ( ) 4

5 The problem of wireless interference User B User A I-Q plot: AP receive from A alone AP receive from B alone AP receive (A + B) One received signal ( ), two sent (, ), so AP can t decode 5

6 Leveraging Multiple Antennas Now, the AP hears two received signals, one on each antenna: Antenna 1 2 User A User A Access Point Send Antenna 1 6

7 Leveraging Multiple Antennas User B Antenna 1 User A User A A2 A1 User B A2 + = A1 2 Mixture of A and B Antenna 1 7

8 Intuition: Zero-Forcing Receiver MIMO zero-forcing receiver 1. Rotate one antenna s signal ( ) 2. Sum the two antennas signals together ( + ) User A User B Sum A2 Sum A2 Rotate A1 Rotate A1 Zero-forcing cancels B, revealing A Can re-run to cancel A, revealing B 8

9 Spatial Multiplexing: More Streams Send multiple streams of information over each of the spatial paths between sender and receiver This is called spatial multiplexing Potential for increased capacity by a factor of N (minimum number of send or receive antennas): C = BN log 1+ SNR ( )bits/s/hz Potential for a multiplicative rate speed-up 9

10 Today 1. Graphical intuition in the I-Q plane 2. Physical modeling of the SIMO channel 3. Physical modeling of the MIMO channel 10

11 Physical Modeling of Multi-Antenna Channels Gain intuition as to how the RF channel (ambient environment) impacts capacity Many physical antenna arrangement geometries possible Limit discussion today to linear antenna arrays, halfwavelength antenna spacing Details vary with more sophisticated antenna arrangements, but concepts do not 11

12 Line-of-Sight SIMO Channel: A Second Look Send x /2 antenna 1 separation 2 3 Receive y 1, y 2, y 3 Vector notation for the system:! "! #! $ =! = h( + * Wireless channel is now a three-tuple vector: h = +, -#./ 0 +, -#./ 1 +, -#./ 2 12

13 Line-of-Sight SIMO Channel: A Second Look Send x 7 / 3 3/2 antenna 1 separation 2 3 Wireless channel is now a three-tuple vector: h = Antenna separations: Assume / 0 = / / ' / + 0 ' 3 cos 7 / 8 / + 3 cos 7 Wireless channel: Receive y 1, y 2, y 3 1 h = $% &'()/9 % % $% &'() */, $% &'() -/, $% &'()./, &( ;<= > &'( ;<= > 13

15 Line-of-Sight SIMO Channel: Maximal Ratio Combining (Review) Send x ' ), )/2 antenna separation Maximal ratio combining projects the received signals " onto the receive spatial signature: #" = h " Receive y 1, y 2, y 3 Reverses the phases in the spatial signature to align each antenna s component of the above sum SNR improvement but no multiplexing 15

20 The Line-of-Sight MIMO Channel: Takeaways Spatial signature tells us how to phase-shift the received signals in order to align them Spatial signature of Transmit antenna 1 Equals spatial signature of Transmit antenna 2 Equals spatial signature of Transmit antenna 3 So any receiver attempt to align signal from Transmit antenna 1 Also aligns transmit antennas 2 and 3 Spatial mux fail Result is interference between x 1, x 2, x 3 Can send same single symbol x on all transmit antennas Results in same power gain as MRC 20
