Spatial Multiplexing and Diversity Gain in OFDM-Based MIMO Systems

Overview Multiple transmit and receive antennas can be used with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing to improve performance and transmission rate. This paper investigates trade offs between different techniques in broadband OFDM-based MIMO systems for achieving full diversity or maximum spatial multiplexing gain. The basic model of OFDM-based spatial multiplexer is very suitable for high data rate transmission, and if combined with other techniques such as channel coding or space time coding can provide desired diversity and spatial multiplexing gain.

TI's 'turbo Wi-Fi' - still born?

In the 802.11g standards battle, PBCC eventually lost ground to OFDM, or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, as the modem of choice. The technique TI uses to boost turbo Wi-Fi's speed is known as PBCC (Packet Binary Convolutional Coding).

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
