Multiplex Gain MIMO Gains Exploit antenna diversity to deliver multiple streams concurrently Diversity Gain Exploit antenna diversity to increase the SNR of a single stream

Trade off Between diversity gain and multiplex gain Say we have a N x N system Degree of freedom: N The transmitter can transmit k streams concurrently, where k <= N The optimal value of k is determined by the tradeoff between the diversity gain and multiplex gain

Degree of Freedom For N x M MIMO channel Degree of Freedom (DoF): min {N,M} Maximum diversity: NM

Homework Say there exist a 3x link, which has a channel " $ H 3 = $ $ # $ h h h h h 3 h 3 % ' ' ' &' How can a three-antenna transmitter transmit a signal x, but null its signal at two antennas of a two-antenna receiver?

Interference Alignment -antenna receiver I I wanted signal N-antenna node can only decode N signals If I and I are aligned, à appear as one interferer à -antenna receiver can decode the wanted signal

Rotate Signal. Transmitter can rotate the received signal -antenna receiver y y = Ry To rotate received signal y to y = Ry, transmitter multiplies its transmitted signal by the same rotation matrix R

Rotate Signal αx βx = (h α +h β)x y = (h α +h β)x y = (h +h,h +h ) y' = (u, v) (h α +h β) = u (h α +h β) = v How to align the signal along the interference? à Find the direcgon of the interference and rotate the signal to that direcgon
