MIMO System Capacity: Unlocking Blazing-Fast Wireless Speeds

by

MIMO — Capacity path 1. Intro → 2. Channel model → 3. SISO capacity → 4. Ergodic SISO → 5. MIMO capacity Tools: Shannon calculator Introduction Extend the scalar ergodic average to a matrix channel. With receiver CSI and equal power across transmit antennas, ergodic MIMO capacity is the expectation of a log-determinant—the expression Telatar … Read more

Understanding Ergodic Capacity: Testing Your Wireless Speed Calculator

by

MIMO — Capacity path 1. Intro → 2. Channel model → 3. SISO capacity → 4. Ergodic SISO → 5. MIMO capacity Tools: Shannon calculator Introduction We already met ergodic capacity as an expectation. Now treat it as something you compute: how do you estimate it stably, and is there a closed form to check … Read more

Capacity of SISO system over a fading channel

by

MIMO — Capacity path 1. Intro → 2. Channel model → 3. SISO capacity → 4. Ergodic SISO → 5. MIMO capacity Tools: Shannon calculator Introduction Shannon’s formula \(C=\log_2(1+\mathrm{SNR})\) shows up in every communications course. On a fading channel the SNR itself is random, so capacity becomes a random variable. What does that mean in … Read more
