1.Abstract
Digital communication using multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) has been regarded as one of the most significant technical
breakthrough modern communications. In this tutorial, the overview
of recent progress in the area of MIMO system is introduced. A key
feature of MIMO system is the ability to turn multi-path propagation,
traditionally a pitfall of wireless transmission, into a benefit for the
user.
The first part of the tutorial introduced MIMO system and
analyzed why MIMO system. Followed, the section 3 used two major
classifications to determine types of MIMO. From single user to multi
users, open loop to close loop, there are literally descriptions to
figure out category of MIMO system. Beside, several different open
loop MIMO systems include Space Time Transmit Diversity (STTD)
MIMO, Spatial Multiplexing (SM) MIMO and Uplink Collaborative
MIMO are introduced. Coming to the function of MIMO system, I
separated it to three parts to illustrate. Precoding is a generalization
of beamforming to support multi-layer transmission in multiantenna wireless communications. In spatial multiplexing, a high
rate signal is split into multiple lower rate streams and each stream
is transmitted from a different transmit antenna in the same
frequency channel. Diversity Coding techniques are used when
there is no channel knowledge at the transmitter. Then a strict
mathematics model of MIMO system is provided. While the MIMO
system is regarded as narrow flat fading channel, we modeled the
MIMO system by referring to information theory. Then we derived the
channel capacity in mathematical description. In section 6, current
applications of MIMO technique is written. Under 3GPP mobile radio
standard, there are several application included: (1) HSPA+ (2)LTE
(3) WiMAXTM (4) WLAN. At last, Future standards with using of MIMO
technology is provided include LTE Advanced, 1xEV-DO Rev. C and
WiMAXTM 802.16m. At the end of this tutorial report I briefly
conclude the content of this report follow the section description.
I present the stat of the art in channel modeling and
measurement, leading to a better understanding of actual MIMO
gains. Although MIMO system does not related to my research topic,
I do try my best to survey the MIMO system knowledge and put all
of the information to this tutorial. Hoping it can take the reader to
understanding how MIMO system work.

Precoding:
Spatial multiplexing:
Spatial multiplexing requires MIMO antenna configuration. In
spatial multiplexing, a high rate signal is split into multiple lower
rate streams and each stream is transmitted from a different
transmit antenna in the same frequency channel. If these signals
arrive at the receiver antenna array with sufficiently different spatial
signatures, the receiver can separate these streams into (almost)
parallel channels. Spatial multiplexing is a very powerful technique
for increasing channel capacity at higher signal-to-noise ratios
(SNR). The maximum number of spatial streams is limited by the
lesser of the number of antennas at the transmitter or receiver.
Spatial multiplexing can be used with or without transmit channel
knowledge. Spatial multiplexing can also be used for simultaneous
transmission to multiple receivers, known as space-division multiple
accessing. The scheduling of receivers with different spatial
signatures allows good separability.
Diversity coding:
Diversity Coding techniques are used when there is no channel
knowledge at the transmitter. In diversity methods, a single stream
(unlike multiple streams in spatial multiplexing) is transmitted, but
the signal is coded using techniques called space-time coding. The
signal is emitted from each of the transmit antennas with full or
near orthogonal coding. Diversity coding exploits the independent
fading in the multiple antenna links to enhance signal diversity.
Because there is no channel knowledge, there is no beamforming
or array gain from diversity coding.

In LTE, one or two code words are mapped to one to four layers
("layer mapper" block). To achieve multiplexing, a precoding is
carried out ("precoding" block). In this process, the layers are
multiplied by a precoding matrix W from a defined code book and
distributed to the various antennas. This precoding is known to both
the transmitter and the receiver. In the specification, code books are
defined for one, two, and four antennas, as well as for spatial
multiplexing (with and without CDD) and transmit diversity. Table 1
shows the code book for spatial multiplexing with two antennas as
an example. Code books for four antennas are also defined.
LTE precoding matrix for a maximum of two layers:
Uplink
In order to keep the complexity low at the UE end, MU-MIMO is used in the uplink. To do
this, multiple UEs, each with only one Tx antenna, use the same channel.
WiMAXTM (802.16e-2005):
WiMAXTM promises a peak data rate of 74 Mbps at a bandwidth
of up to 20 MHz. Modulation types are QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM.
Downlink
The WiMAXTM 802.16e-2005 standard specifies MIMO in
WirelessMAN-OFDMA mode. This standard defines a large number of
different matrices for coding and distributing to antennas. In
principle, two, three or four TX antennas are possible. For all modes,
the matrices A, B, and C are available. In the "STC encoder" block,
the streams are multiplied by the selected matrix and mapped to
the antennas.
Uplink
In Uplink-MIMO only different pilot patterns are used. Coding and
mapping is the same like in non-MIMO case. In addition to single
user MIMO (SU-MIMO) two different user can use the same channel
(collaborative MIMO, MU-MIMO).
WLAN (802.11n):
WLAN as defined by the 802.11n standard promises a peak data rate of up to 600 Mbps
at a bandwidth of 40 MHz. Modulation types are BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM. It is
backward compatible with the previous standards 802.11 a/b/g. With up to four streams, it
supports up to a maximum of four antennas.
WLAN differentiates between spatial streams (SS) and spacetime streams (STS). If NSS < NSTS, then a space-time block encoder
("STBC") distributes the SS to the STS and adds transmit diversity by
means of coding.
7.Future Work
Future standards will continue to use MIMO technology. At
present, the following standards with MIMO are being worked on:
LTE Advanced :
The goal is to provide 1 Gbps at 100 MHz bandwidth in
downlink direction.
1xEV-DO Rev. C:
The goal is to provide 18 Mbps at 1.25 MHz bandwidth in
forward link.
WiMAXTM 802.16m:
The goal is to provide 300 Mbps at 20 MHz bandwidth in
downlink direction.
8.Conclusion
This tutorial introduces the major feature of MIMO links for use in
wireless network. MIMO exploits the space dimension to improve
wireless systems capacity, range and reliability. It offers significant
increases in data throughput and link range without additional
bandwidth or increased transmit power.
After introduced why MIMO system, we classified MIMO system
into two major categories: (1) Single User MIMO (SU-MIMO) vs. Multi
User MIMO (MU-MIMO) (2)Open loop MIMO vs. Close loop MIMO.
Under open loop MIMO, three MIMO system is provided: (1) Space
Time Transmit Diversity (STTD) MIMO (2) Spatial Multiplexing (SM)
MIMO (3) Uplink Collaborative MIMO.
