Abstract

To handle increased capacity demands, sophisticated MIMO-based transmission strategies, based on transmitter cooperation, have emerged. However, different types of users' channels (e.g., static vs mobile, stable vs dynamic channels) that make up today's enterprises, require different MIMO transmission strategies. With the wrong strategy, a user could even see a degradation in performance. Our overarching goal is to design and implement a framework, TRINITY, that can simultaneously cater to a heterogeneous mix of users, by intelligently combining a plurality of MIMO transmission strategies wherein the transmitters at different nodes can cooperate to deliver significant performance gains. Three key challenges that we address in building TRINITY are: (i) how to categorize users into channel profiles such that a single transmission strategy caters to the users of a profile, (ii) how to combine strategies to communicate with users of different profiles simultaneously, and (iii) what is the granularity of transmitter cooperation needed to balance efficiency with complexity. We implement and evaluate TRINITY on our WARP radio testbed. Our extensive experiments show that TRINITY's intelligent combining of transmission strategies improves the total network rate by 50%-150%, satisfies the QoS requirements of thrice as many users, and improves PSNR for video traffic by 10 dB compared to individual transmission strategies.
