Multi antenna system: smart antennas, multiple input multiple output systems, multi user MIMO.
 Smart antenna
Smart antennas are antennas with multiple elements, where signals from different elements are combined by
an adaptive/intelligent algorithm for the transmit case, the signals at the antenna elements are created by the

algorithm.
i ) Increased number of users

As the smart antennas can increase the signal to interference ration using of combining diversity techniques.
This can increase the number of users in the system. Due to the targeted nature of smart antennas same
frequencies can be reused after small distance.
ii) Increased Range
As the smart antenna is work on beam forming technique. If the spatial position of the transmitter is known
then receiver can make an array pattern towards the position/direction of the TX . This can increase the
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) as compared with a single antenna. This allows the area serviced by a smart
antenna to increase.
iii) Security
Smart antennas naturally provide increased security, as the signals are not radiated in all directions as in a
traditional Omni-directional antenna. This means that if someone wished to intercept transmissions they
would need to be at the same location or between the two communicating devices.
iv) Reduced Interference
Interference occurs in case of transmissions in all directions. Due to the directionality introduced by the smart
antenna radiation takes place in particular direction.
 MIMO System
In wireless communications a MIMO system is a wireless communication system that has more than one
antenna in both transmitter and receiver. The use of MIMO systems enables many different benefits that can
be used to increase the performance of a data transferring network. These include spatial multiplexing gain,
spatial diversity gain and array gain, often also referred to as beam forming gain.

The general expression for the baseband signal in this case can be expressed by equation:

y t =H t *s(t)+n(t)
Where y(t) is the received, s(t) the transmitted, n(t) the noise signal, * denotes convolution, and H (t) is the M
× N channel matrix.
h11 h1n
H=( )
hm1 hmn
Where hmn is channel impulse response between receiver antenna N and transmitter antenna M. It is notable
that this channel matrix includes also the effect of the T X and R X antennas, and is usually referred to as MIMO
channel matrix or MIMO radio channel matrix. Respectively the term MIMO propagation channel matrix is
used to refer to a channel matrix which includes only the effect of the propagation channel itself and the
effect of antenna configurations and other RF electronics is excluded.
 MIMO Techniques
 Beam forming
The following techniques are used in MIMO system.
Beam forming techniques are designed to transmit or receive the signal to/from the preferred directions,
where multiple antennas are used to shape the overall antenna beam in a certain way in order to maximize
antenna gain in target direction or to suppress target dominant interference .The main goal of beam forming
is to increase received signal power and, subsequently, to improve coverage.
For the receiver beam forming case (Nt=1 and Nr>1) the received signal can be optimally linearly combined
from different receive antennas in order to maximize the received SINR. The mean received SINR can be
increased proportionally to Nr and array gain of 10 log 10 (Nr) dB over then single antenna case can be
exploited. Channel State Information (CSI) at the receiver is typically available.
For the transmit beam forming case (Nt>1 and Nr=1) CSI is required and can be obtained from feedback. The
transmit beam former based on perfect channel information can be designed to maximize the received SINR.
The average received SINR can be increased proportionally to N t and array gain of 10 log 10 (Nt) dB over the
 Diversity
single antenna case can be exploited.
The goal of diversity oriented techniques is to provide robustness against fading by same signal transmission
over multiple independently fading paths. There are different potential sources of diversity, such as space,
time, frequency or polarization.
Full spatial diversity with order of NtNr can be obtained if all NtNr independently faded links of MIMO channel
are properly combined. In order to maximize diversity gain low antenna correlation is required, that can be
achieved by large inter-antenna distance or by cross-polarization. Additionally, diversity gain is accomplished
by array gain obtained in all receiver combining diversity schemes and in the transmit diversity schemes with
available CSI .
In receiver diversity independent fading paths from different receive antennas are combined at the receiver to
mitigate the effect of fading. Linear and non-linear combining at the receiver with spatial domain processing
 Spatial Multiplexing
can be designed to maximize the post-processed SINR or to suppress specific interferers.
Multiple antennas technique can be used to increase received Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) and/or to exploit
diversity against fading. The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) adaptively combined with such beam
forming or diversity method can indirectly lead to the increased data rate. However, the multiple antennas at
both transmitter and receiver ends can directly be utilized to increase significantly the data rate through
spatial multiplexing. Spatial multiplexing allows to transmit at most min (N t,Nr) different data streams in
parallel in case of good channel conditions (high SINR regime, rich multipath propagation, uncorrelated
antennas. The number of spatially multiplexing streams can be determined as a rank of MIMO channel matrix
H . In open-loop MIMO case with no available CSI the Maximum Likelihood receiver can provide near-capacity
performance. However, the high receiver complexity for large MIMO system makes it unusable. The reduced
complexity receivers, such as MMSE with Successive Interference Cancellation for multi-code block

transmission can achieve almost the same performance. The transmitted code block can contain several
multiplexing streams and can be combined with individual link adaptation mechanism.
 Multiuser MIMO
In a cellular system where the BS communicates with multiple users at the same time. As we see in the
following, this situation requires some new paradigms for the usage of the degrees of freedom provided by
the multiple antenna elements. The system model we consider in the following is outlined in Figure.
Figure 3.2 Multiuser MIMO system setup.

A single BS with NBS antenna elements communicates with K mobile stations with N MS antenna elements each.
We assume that NBS > NMS , but that NBS<∑ NMS. This is the case normally occurring in a cellular network and
also the one with the most interesting effects for multiuser MIMO.
