This paper presents and compares antenna selection strategies for frequency selective MIMO-OFDM channels. Real channels are measured, and used to evaluate performance. Results for simulated TGn channel models are also presented. We show that the capacity gain predicted from the simulated channels, is significantly lower than can be achieved over real channels. This supports the use of antenna s...

We address the capacity limits of sizeconstrained multi-input multi-output (MIMO) arrays. While most work on MIMO focuses on arrays with of a small number of sufficiently spaced, low correlated antenna elements, we look at the case where a fixed small space is being filled up with antenna elements. We obtain a dense MIMO system whose rate performance is analyzed. We establish capacity limits an...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques allow remarkable improvements in the reliability and/or transmission rate of wireless communication systems. However, there are several major challenges towards the implementation of conventional MIMO concept in terminals with size, cost, and power constraints. First of all, insufficient space impedes the design of efficient and decorrelated MIMO...

The increasing interest in MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) systems has given rise to a proliflc research activity in recent years. Both theoretical and practical issues have been studied. However, so far few MIMO testbeds or prototypes have been built for DVB-T or future standards. In this paper, a novel 2 x 2 MIMO testbed speciflcally designed for evaluating the performances of a DVB-T2 ...

This paper shows how the application of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication methods can enhance telemetry systems. The main contribution of MIMO to the communication system is improving spectral efficiency by exploiting spatial diversity of multiple antennas. For communications using high order QAM modulated signals, a blind MIMO equalizer is proposed in earlier works. In this w...

We investigate point-to-point transmission over dispersive multiple-input/multiple-output channels (MIMO ISI channels). MIMO orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing decomposes the frequency-selective channel into a set of independent flat-fading MIMO channels. Remaining spatial interference has to be treated in each carrier individually by means of MIMO equalization/precoding. We combine sev...

In this paper, a cluster-based virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication scheme is proposed for energy-constrained wireless sensor networks.

We propose energy efficient routing space-time block coding (STBC) based virtual MIMO technique is incorporated into low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH). In addition, ...
