What is MIMO Input vector: Output vector: Noise vector : Hij is the channel gain from Txito Rxj with
MIMO MAC (uplink) MAC is a channel which two (or more) senders send information to a common receiver
Water-filling algorithm The optimal strategy is to ‘pour energy’ (allocate energy on each channel). In channels with lower effective noise level, more energy will be allocated.
Iterative water filling algorithm Initialize Qi = 0, i = 1 …K. repeat; for j = 1 to K; end; until the desired accuracy is reached
MIMO MAC capacity Single-user water filling K-user Water-filling When we apply the water filling Qi=Q.
MIMO MACcapacity region The capacity region of the MAC is the closure of the set of achievable rate pairs (R1, R2).
MAC sum capacity region (WF) The sum rate converges to the sum capacity. (Q1……. Qk) converges to an optimal set of input covariance matrices.
MIMO BC (downlink) Single transmitter for all users
Zero-forcing method To find out the optimal transmit vector, such that all multi-user interference is zero, the optimal solution is to force HjMj = 0, for i≠ j, so that user j does not interfere with any other users.
BC capacity region for 2 users The capacity region of a BC depends only on the Conditional distributions of
BC sum capacity 1. Use water filling on the diagonal elements of to determine the optimal power loading matrix under power constraint P. 2. Use water-filling on the diagonal elements of to calculate the power loading matrix that satisfies the power constraint Pj corresponding to rate Rj. (power control) 3. Let mj be the number of spatial dimensions used to transmit to user j, The number of sub-channels allocated to each user must be a constant when K = Nt/ mj , (known sub-channel)

Conclusion MIMO capacity: 1. It depends on H, the larger rank and eigen values of H, the more MIMO capacity will be. 2. If we understood better the knowledge of Tx and Rx, we can get higher channel capacity. With power control, the capacity will also be increased. 3. When water-filling is applied: the capacity will be incresaing significantly.
