According to Fig.l, The M-element receive array then
samples this feld and generates the Mx 1 signal vector YA(t) at
the array terminals. Noise in the system is typically generated
in the physical propagation channel (interference) and the
receiver font-end electronics (thermal noise). To simplif the
discussion, we will lump all additive noise into a single
contribution represented by the Mx 1 vector 1(t) that is
injected at the receive antenna terminals. The resulting signal
plus noise vector YA(t) is then down converted to produce the
Mx 1 baseband output vector y(t). Finally, y(t) is passed
through a matched flter whose output is sampled once per
symbol to produce y(k), afer which the space-time decoder
produces estimatesof the originally transmitted symbols.
III.SP ACE DIVERSITY
Diversity techniques can be used to improve system
performance in fading channels. Instead of transmitting and
receiving the desired signal through one channel, we obtain L
copies of the desired signal through M different channels [7].
The idea is that while some copies may undergo deep fades,
others may not. We might still be able to obtain enough energy
to make the corect decision on the transmitted symbol.
Another approach to achieve diversity is to use M antennas
to receive M copies of the transmitted signal shown in fg.2.
The antennae should be spaced far enough apart so that
different received copies of the signal undergo independent
fading. Different fom fequency diversity and temporal
diversity, no additional work is required on the transmission
end, and no additional bandwidth or transmission time is
required.

However, physical constraints may limit its applications.
Sometimes, several transmission antennae are also employed
to send out several copies of the transmitted signal. Spatial
diversity can be employed to combat both fequency selective
fading and time selective fading.

FIg 3.: Antenna confguratIOns In dIfferent systems
Presently four different types (Input and output refers to
number of antennas) of systems can be categorized as far as
diversity is concerned (as shown in fgure 3.).
l.Single Input Single Output (SISO)-No diversity
This system has single antenna both side. Due to single
transmitter and receiver antenna, it is less complex than
mUltiple input and multiple output (MIMO).SISO is the
simplest antenna technology.

It's a system with Multiple-antenna arrays are known to
perform better than their single-antenna counterparts, because
they can more effectively counter the effects of mUltipath
fading and interference. However, the enhanced performance
depends on the amount of channel information at the
transmitter and on whether the transmitter is able to take
advantage of this information. [3]

system with J_ antennas and the capacity is given by [3]

These various confgurations are referred to as multiple
input single output MISO, Single Input Multiple Output
SIMO, or Multiple Input Multiple Output MIMO.
The SIMO and MISO architectures are a form of receive
and transmit diversity schemes respectively. On the other
hand, MIMO architectures can be used for combined transmit
and receive diversity, as well as for the parallel transmission
of data or spatial mUltiplexing. When used for spatial
multiplexing MIMO technology promises high bit rates in a
narrow band-width and as such it is of high signifcance to
spectrum users [9].
V.MATHEMA TICAL MODEL OF MIMO
Consider a wireless communication system with Nt
transmit (T x) and Nr receive (Rx) antennas. The idea is to
transmit different streams of data on the different transmit
antennas, but at the same carrier fequency. The stream on
the p-th transmit antenna, as fnction of the time t, will be
denoted by s
p
(t). When a transmission occurs, the
transmitted signal fom the p-th T x antenna might fnd
different paths to arive at the q-th Rx antenna, namely, a
direct path and indirect paths through a number of
refections[ 4].
For such a system, all the multi-path components
between the p-th T x and q-th Rx antenna can be summed
up to one term, say h
q
(t). Since the signals fom all
transmit antennas are sent at the same fequency, the q-th
receive antenna will not only receive signals fom the p-th,
but fom all Nt transmitters. This 00 be denoted by the
following equation (the ddiI\c noise at the receiver 1b
omitted for clar

ty).

To capture all Nt received signals into one
equation, the matrix notation can be used:

schematic representation of a MIMO communication scheme
can be found in Figure 6.
Mathematically, a MIMO transmission can be seen as a set
of equations (the recordings on each Rx antenna) with a
number of unknowns (the transmitted signals). If every
equation represents a unique combination of the unknown
variables and the number of equations is equal to the
number of unknowns, then their exists a unique solution
to the problem. If the number of equations is larger than
the number of unknowns, a solution can be found by
perfonning a projection using the least squares method ,
also known as the Zero Forcing (ZF) method. For the
symmetric case, the ZF solution results in the unique
solution.

CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT USING MIMO
MIMO technologies overcome the defciencies of these
traditional methods through the use of spatial diversity. Data
in a MIMO system is transmitted over T transmit antennas
through what is referred to as a "MIMO channel" to R receive
antennas supported by the receiver tenninal.
For 3 memor less l^1 (SISO) system the capacity is
given by:

Where h is the normalizes complex gain of a fxed wireless
channel or that of a particular realization of a random channel.

As we deploy more Rx antennas the statIstics of
capacity will improve and with M Rx antennas, we have a
SIMO system vIh capacity given by
Where is the gain of Rxantenna.
Now, we consider the use of diversity at both transmitter and
receiver giving I\Sc to a MIMO system. For N T x and M Rx
antennas, we havc the now famous capacity equation [3], [4],
[5]
Where , ) means transpose-conjugate and H is the MxN
channel matrix.
For the i.i.d. Rayleigh fading case we have the impressive
linear capacity growth discussed above. For a wider range of
channel models including, for example, correlated fading and
specular components, we must ask whether this behavior still
holds. Below we report a variety of work on the effects of
feedback and different channel models. It is important to note
that (8) can be rewritten as [4].

This formulation can be easily obtained fom the direct use of
Eigen value properties. Alternatively, we can decompose the
MIMO channel into m equivalent parallel SISO channels by
performing a singular value decomposition (SVD) of [4], [8].

VII.CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE TRENDS
This paper reviews the major features of MIMO links for
use in fture wireless networks. Information theory reveals the
great capacity gains which can be realized fom MIMO.
Whether we achieve this flly or at least partially in practice
depends on a sensible design of transmit and receive signal
processing algorithms. It is clear that the success of MIMO
algorithm integration into commercial standards such as 3G,
WLAN, and beyond will rely on a fne compromise between
rate maximization (BLAST type) and diversity (space-time
coding) solutions, also including the ability to adapt to the
time changing nature of the wireless channel using some form
of (at least partial) feedback. To this end more progress in
modelling, not only the MIMO channel but its specifc
dynamics, will be required. As new and more specifc channel
models are being proposed it will useful to see how those can
affect the performance tradeoffs between existing transmission
algorithms and whether new algorithms, tailored to specifc
models, can be developed. Finally, upcoming trials and
performance measurements in specifc deployment conditions
will be key to evaluate precisely the overall benefts of MIMO
systems in real-world wireless scenarios such as UMTS.
