What Is Downlink Mimo System

Decent Essays

Downlink MIMO
For the downlink MIMO system configurations with two or four antennas has being considered. In 2x2 configurations there is baseline configuration with two antennas at the transmitter and two antennas at the receiver. There are different modes has been predicted for MIMO antenna system such as spatial multiplexing and transmit diversity and channel automatically select any scheme of choice.
Spatial multiplexing
In spatial multiplexing scheme the different stream of data has been transmitted on the same downlink resource block. As there is SU-MIMO (Single user MIMO) and MU-MIMO (Multiuser MIMO) and the data stream could be related to one of these. SU-MIMO is used to achieve higher data rate whereas on the other hand MU-MIMO is …show more content…

Precoding matrix principle
The precoding matrix has been chosen from the predefined codebook which is called eNodeB and UE side. Mostly the unity pre-coding is used in which the precoding matrixes are unitary. The UE chose the best pre-coding matrix by predicting the radio channel. This pre-coding matrix the further provides the maximum capacity. On the uplink control channel the UE also provides the feedback which shows the preferred pre-coding matrix. The optimum pre-coding matrix varies between each resource block. Uplink MIMO Uplink
For uplink MIMO scheme is different from downlink MIMO. MU-MIMO is used for the uplink MIMO. This is also called spatial domain multiple access (SDMA) in which multiple users can transmit at the same time on the same resource block. The major benefit of this scheme is that it only requires only one transmit antenna at UE side. The UE must have to follow the mutually orthogonal pilot patterns as they using the same resource block. In the starting technique the UE have two transmit antenna with only one transmit chain and amplifier and switch is used to choose the antenna that is able to provide the best channel to the eNodeB
VII. Performance improvement in MIMO system
The performance improvement in MIMO systems could be achieved from array gain, diversity gain, spatial multiplexing gain and the reduction in the interference. The advantages of these
