MIMO principles • Transmitting multiple data streams in the same space and time used

MIMO principles • Transmitting multiple data streams in the same space and time used to be called interference! • So how does MIMO work? 1. MIMO capacity gains come from taking advantage of spatial diversity in the radio channel 2. Depending on channel conditions and noise levels, the rank (number of simultaneous streams) can be varied 3. The performance can be optimized using precoding • These three MIMO principles can seem complex to understand particularly abstract mathematical descriptions • But we intuitively already know these MIMO principles in the way they apply to our perception of audio Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 7 7 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

Understanding MIMO spatial diversity through Audio - Dual Stream (Stereo) R L Interference! L R Interference! R L MIMO! For MIMO to work: • • • Must have at least as many receivers as transmitted streams Must have spatial separation at both transmit and receive antennas More transmitters enables beamforming in addition to MIMO Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 9 9 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

Understanding MIMO precoding through Audio • MIMO Precoding is a pre-emphasis technique used to

Understanding MIMO precoding through Audio • MIMO Precoding is a pre-emphasis technique used to improve the separation of the streams at the receiver due to unhelpful coupling in the channel • In audio systems precoding is similar to stereo “balance” • If the receiver is not positioned directly between the speakers the received streams will be at different levels • Adjusting the balance at the transmitter can mitigate the problem • Balancing requires feedback from the receiver to the transmitter Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 1010 Page L R Not enough R Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

Understanding MIMO precoding through Audio • The receiver could just amplify the right channel

Understanding MIMO precoding through Audio • The receiver could just amplify the right channel but in the presence of noise the corrected signal would degrade: • Precoding the transmission as L, 5 R optimizes signal recovery L R L 5 R Solution!

Understanding MIMO Rank adaptation through Audio • In good radio conditions an FM stereo

Understanding MIMO Rank adaptation through Audio • In good radio conditions an FM stereo receiver will attempt to decode both the left and right signals (streams) • When the noise gets too high the receiver switches to mono and the quality improves although stereo is lost • This is the audio equivalent of rank adaptation where the number of streams is reduced under poor conditions • Transmit matrix encoded FM stereo as L + R, L – R • Receive (L + R) + N 1, (L – R) + N 2 • Since N 1 and N 2 are largely correlated, adding the two streams (maximum ratio combining) cancels most of the noise Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 1212 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

The role of channel correlation and noise in system performance • In a ideal

The role of channel correlation and noise in system performance • In a ideal 2 x 2 system the potential capacity gain is 2 x • The actual gain depends on how easily the receiver can descramble the simultaneous transmissions – this depends on the amount of unwanted correlation and noise • In audio systems channel correlation and noise also affects perceived stereo performance – Spaced living room speakers - lots of correlation degrades stereo, susceptible to external noise – Open headphones – zero correlation, good stereo but still susceptible to noise – Closed headphones – zero correlation, minimal noise Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 1313 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

So what makes a good channel for MIMO? • A perfect MIMO channel is

So what makes a good channel for MIMO? • A perfect MIMO channel is like the closed headphones: channels 2 and 3 don’t exist T 0 ch 1 ch 2 T 1 3 ch ch 4 Channel H R 0 R 1 1 0 0 1 • By simple observation it follows that R 0 = T 0 and R 1 = T 1 • This is the case that creates double the capacity • But suppose we create a simple static channel like this: • How do we know if it will provide capacity gain?

The MIMO challenge: Recovering the signal • If all four channels are the same

The MIMO challenge: Recovering the signal • If all four channels are the same the original signal cannot be recovered since R 0 = R 1 T 0 ch 1 ch 2 T 1 3 ch ch 4 Channel H R 0 1 1 R 1 1 1 R 0 = T 0 + T 1 and R 1 = T 0 + T 1 • But put in a phase inversion e. g. on ch 3 we get: R 0 = T 0 + T 1 and R 1 = T 1 – T 0 thus T 0 = (R 0 - R 1)/2 and T 1 = (R 0 + R 1)/2 Channel H 1 1 -1 1 • The original signal is completely recovered even though the apparently unwanted ch 2 and ch 3 exist Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 1515 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

The MIMO challenge: Recovering the signal • So is the earlier example good or bad for MIMO?

Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 1616 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

The MIMO challenge: Recovering the signal • The receiver can untangle the two signals

The MIMO challenge: Recovering the signal • The receiver can untangle the two signals because it knows the coupling coefficients, based on the reference signals, but reference estimation is susceptible to noise • But pilot estimation is susceptible to noise • If the estimate is wrong the recovered signal is impaired • Consider these equations for T 0 from different channels: T 0 = 1. 15 (R 0 + N 0) + 0. 39 (R 1 + N 1) T 0 = 27. 3 (R 0 + N 0) + 16. 5 (R 1 + N 1) • Errors in T 0 recovery happen due to estimation errors in the coefficients or large coefficients amplifying noise N 0 and N 1 • It is possible to analyze the matrix H to predict the impact of noise on signal recovery Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 1717 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

Impact of condition number frequency dependency • The previous example of how the condition number varies across the channel during one 10 ms frame and how the pattern varies a few frames later depending on speed • This variability is both a challenge and an opportunity • OFDMA systems can transmit at different frequencies within the channel to target that part of the channel offering the best MIMO gains • CDMA systems cannot do this and have to accept the average performance across the channel Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 2121 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009

LTE MIMO conformance testing • The performance requirements for LTE are based on a number of simplifications to real world operation • This often involves a modular approach of doing open loop testing of parts of the functionality rather than a more end-to -end approach • This is a bit like measuring engine performance and other components rather than going for a test drive or a real track • The modular approach is useful and separates the test equipment from the DUT but does not tell the whole story • The consequence is that conformance test results cannot be easily mapped to real life conditions to predict typical performance Concepts of 3 GPP LTE 9 Oct 2007 Page 3737 Page Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks Moray Rumney 30 th April 2009
