It is a common belief that multiple transmit antennas have to be placed far apart in order to avoid undesired effects such as mutual coupling, changing beampatterns, antenna mismatching losses, and correlation. The following radio communication setup is considered: two lambda/4-monopole ground-plane transmit antennas, a single receive antenna, 4QAM modulation, alamoutispace-timecoding, uncoded single carrier transmission at 2.4 GHz, indoor scenario. By measurements, the impact of very low transmit antenna spacing on the average uncoded BER over transmit-power performance of such a radio link, therefore accounting for all losses in the transmission chain, is examined. The common belief that multiple transmit antennas have to be placed far apart cannot be confirmed.

In this paper, we propose a 2 x 2 cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme based on alamoutispace-timecoding. In this scheme, the the relay and the destination antennas receive the transmitted symbols from the source during the first stage. Then, both the relay and the destination generate their own decision variables using an alamouti decoding procedure by the end of the first stage. In the second stage, the relay sends its own decision variables to the destination to enhance the destination decision variables and therefore improves the performance of the system. Our results show the superiority of the proposed cooperative alamouti scheme by improving the system performance in terms of average BER, frame error rate (FER), and spectral efficiency.

This paper presents various challenges faced in modern wireless communications and how these challenges are overcome by using Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) systems. Analysis of various equalization techniques such as Zero Forcing (ZF) equalization, Minimum Mean Square Equalization (MMSE), Maximum Likelihood (ML) equalization and Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) in a 2x2 MIMO system are shown. Among these techniques Maximum ratio combining technique provides better performance. In this paper a new scheme is proposed which uses alamoutispacetime block coding at the transmitting section and Maximum ratio combining at the receiving section which provides best performance among all the equalization techniques. Simulation results are also provided.

When fast and accurate channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter is available, opportunistic power control (OPC) is an attractive alternative to signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) target following approaches, because it maximizes throughput by taking advantage of fast channel variations. On the other hand, in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, open loop schemes such as alamouti space time coding and spatial multiplexing (SM) exploit channel diversity without accurate CSI. In an attempt to answer the question whether OPC is worth the pain of obtaining fast CSI, in this paper we evaluate the gains of OPC for the downlink of a system employing MIMO with alamouti and SM. We formulate the OPC problem as a throughput maximization task subject to a power budget and fairness constraints. We solve this task by the Augmented Lagrangian Penalty Function (ALPF) and find that without fairness constraints, OPC in concert with SM provides superior throughput. With tight fairness constraint, alamouti along with equal power allocation becomes a viable alternative to the SM OPC scheme.

Infrared communication has been recently reconsidered as an alternative to microwave radio used by WLAN devices, suitable for specific applications such as hospitals or industrial communication in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields. The design of a system able to communicate efficiently even without Line Of Sight (LOS) and in the presence of fading represents a challenging issue for a wider utilization of IR. The growing interest in the field of radio communication towards MIMO systems has encouraged few researchers to use similar techniques to fight fading effects of the diffuse infrared channel. As a first step in the design of an infrared node for diffuse communication we developed a complete simulation framework to evaluate the performance of diversity techniques for IR. We also introduce a blind channel estimator for IR MIMO receivers. Results show that diversity leads to consistent performance improvements for the IR channel in the presence of fading.
