capacity of MIMO frequency selective channel

Started by Johnathn December 6, 2003
I noticed most literatures on mimo channel capacity focused on flat
fading channel. I want to know if any one interested in the capacity
of MIMO frequency selective channel, or any literature to this
problem? why so few literatures in this problem? it is because it is
very complex or any other reasons? Any ideas are welcome!!

Thank you!
you can probably find an expression for it;  but the problem is whether ou
can compute it for a "good" channel model and get some intuitive
understanding for it.

as far as i know, there is no satisfying channel model for this kind of
system yet, but i am not well-read in this area.

for example, the expression for the capacity of multi-antenna flat fading
systems is already known for a long time.  it was not until telatar used
results from random matrices, many of which you can find in alan adelman's
phd thesis at mit, were people able to see that you get linear increase in
capacity with increasing numbers of transmit and receive antennas.

By adding Alan Adelman's phd thesis, now I have many papers of MIMO initiation. Please let me know which one I have to read first as a beginner. These are list of items what I have taken: - MIMO capacity: Alan Adelman's paper, Telatar's paper, ... - MIMO system: A. J. Paulraj and T. Kailath 's DT/DR, ... - To achieve MIMO capacity in Rx only coordinated systems: G. J. Foschini's BLAST, ... - To achieve MIMO capacity in Tx only coordinated systems: M.H.M. Costa's Dirty paper coding, ... - MU-MIMO with space-time scheduling: ... BR, ------ James K. (txdiversity@hotmail.com) - Any remarks, proposal and/or indicator would be greatly respected. - Private opinions: These are not the opinions from my affiliation.

i should state again that i'm not an expert in this area.
i'm sure other posters here can make a better recommendation.

what about the papers from tarokh? the 1998 paper gives a really nice evaluation criterion. i think the recent paper by jafarkhani gives a very nice constructive way of designing space-time codes for this type of systems.

start from the vishwanath/tse/laroiya paper, it's very well-written. plus you should read zheng/tse's paper on the tradeoff between capacity and diversity, which is also very well-written. hope that helps, julius -- The most rigorous proofs will be shown by vigorous handwaving. http://www.mit.edu/~kusuma opinion of author is not necessarily of the institute

To say exactly, i mean if we can find some results on capacity limits of MIMO frequency selective channel like what G. J. Foschini and M. J. Gans has done on flat fading channel MIMO. BTW: Where can I find Alan Adelman's phd thesis?

I thought that you wanted to see just some applications of MIMO on the = frequency selective channel. Regarding to the capacity of MIMO on the = frequency selective channel, it looks like really new area. As matter of = fact, the capacity of even single path MIMO channel seems to have more = things to be researched, yet. In practice, as far as I know, they (G. J. Foschini and M. J., Gans) = researched starting from the ergodic capacity so I'm not sure yet about = its exact formulae for instatant case. The ergodic capacity is =20 E[C] =3D E[Sum[Log[2,1+(P/N)*r[i]]],{i,1,min[M,N]}], -- (1) where E[.] is the expectation function, Sum[.,{i,1,min[M,N]}] is the = sumation operator ranging i=3D1 to minimum value of [M,N], Log[2,.] is = the logarithm function with base 2, P is SNR (Signal to Noise power = Ratio) when the noise distribution is normalized to ~N(0,1), r[i] is = i-th eigen value of the channel matrix multiple H'H, and M, N are the = number of Rx and Tx antenna elements, respectively. This equation (1) is = simply solved to the equation (2) when we assume M=3DN, E[C] =3D Integrate[N*Log[2,1+(P/N)*r]*p(r), {r,0,Infinity}], -- (2) =20 where surprisingly p(r) is the general pdf of SNR for the single path = Rayleigh channel. For the instant channel, we need to know values of not = only 1st moment but also other higher order moment. Thus, this case is = not clear yet to me. In brief, I have seen a study of the capacity formulae in SISO frequncy = selective channel, e.g. OFDM analysis. Its extention to MIMO supposed to = be still *Big Deal* for us to study, as it was noted by Johnathn. BR, ------ James K.

I dunno, Julius, you can scan a related paper and distill it to points like this better than most, and you seem to be scanning all the right papers. I find few that get these issues as well as you seem to, so please don't hesitate to post on stuff like this. Eric Jacobsen Minister of Algorithms, Intel Corp.

if you had looked in telatar's paper, you will have found that i indeed mispelled "alan edelman". julius -- The most rigorous proofs will be shown by vigorous handwaving. http://www.mit.edu/~kusuma opinion of author is not necessarily of the institute
