MIMO for Wireless Communications

Overview Modern wireless comminication systems aim to achieve a high spectral efficiency. With this aim in mind a number of advanced techniques and algorithms are exploited. One such technique is multiple input - multiple output transmission, where more than one antenna is used in both transmitter and receiver. This technque aims to increase transmission data rates without requiring any additional bandwidth. This course provides a detailed introduction to MIMO techniques, architectures and algorithms. As an example, the use of MIMO techniques in 3GPP LTE is presented.

Content

Review of multi-antenna techniques
Transmit/ receive diversity
Space time coding
Spatial multiplexing
Optimum solution to the MIMO problem
Approximations to the optimum solution
Case study: MIMO techniques in LTE

Audience

The course is suitable for all engineering, technical marketing and technical management staff wishing to gain an understanding of MIMO techniques for wireless communications.

Event Aim

To provide participants with a detailed introdcution to MIMO systems, architectures and algorithms. After the course participants should also be able to differentiate between spatial multiplexing and other multiantenna techniques such as transmit/receive diversity and space/time codes. On successful completion of the course, attendees will be able to:

Identify different multiantenna techniques
Understand the difference between transmit/receive diversity and spatial multiplexing
Understand the difference between space time coding and spatial multiplexing
Appreciate which multiantenna technique is more suitable for different scenarios
Identify advantages and disadvantages of predistortion and equalisation as solutions to generic spatial multiplexing problem
Identify advantages and disadvantages of the optimal solution to the generic spatial multiplexing problem
Understand the most common approximations to the optimum solution to the spatial multiplexing problem
Understand the use of multiantenna techniques in 3GPP LTE systems

Presentation

The course format is: 70% Lectures and 30% Demonstrations. All attendees will receive electronic and printed versions of the teaching materials. The notes provided form a superset of the materials presented on the course and will allow further in depth study after the course.

Pre-requisites

Experience in the following areas is advisable:

Fundamentals of DSP
Basic digital communication systems
Bachelor level mathematics
