MIMO System Capacity Derivation

•  Theorem: Singular value decomposition

•  Suppose M is an m×n matrix whose entries come from the field K.

(either the field of real numbers or the field of complex numbers)

Then,

•  where U is an m×m unitary matrix over K, V* is the conjugate

transpose of the n×n unitary matrix V over K, Σ is an m×n diagonal

matrix with non-negative real numbers on the diagonal.

Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff

• Why MIMO?

•  Utilize multiple antennas to improve wireless system performance

•  Higher capacity

•  Lower error probability

28/65

Definitions

• Diversity Gain d

•  Change in slope of the error probability

• Multiplexing Gain r

•  Change in slope of the rate

29/65

Beamforming

• Antennas transmit the same signal

• Pre-coding and shaping matrices (vectors): u, v

• Corresponding SNR

30/65

Diversity-Multiplexing Trade-offs

• Obtain full multiplexing gain

•  Decompose the MIMO into parallel SISO

•  multiplexing different data streams

•  each SISO quality depends on the singular values of HHH

•  may have poor performance

• Obtain full diversity gain

•  Apply beamforming

31/65


•  Fundamental design question:

•  Should the antennas be used for diversity gain, multiplexing gain or

both?

•  Assume block fading channels with receiver CSI only

•  Maximum d for fixed r:
