MIMO Single User for LTE

SU-MIMO = Single User MIMO It is the most common form of MIMO. Each user is served by only one BS and it occupies the resource exclusively, including time, frequency. It can be applied in the uplink or downlink. But it is generally applied only in DL. The UE can easily have 2 antennas in … Read more

MIMO Multi User in LTE

MIMO-MU = Multi user It is used only in Uplink. MIMO-MU does not increase the individual user’s data rate but it does offer cell capacity gains that are similar to, or better than, those provided by MIMO-SU. The UE does not require the expense and power drain of two transmitters, yet the cell still benefits … Read more

MIMO = Multiple Input Multiple Output in LTE

MIMO = Multiple Input Multiple Output 2 or more transmitters and 2 or more receivers. MIMO transmits several streams whereas SIMO or MISO transmits only one stream. If there are N streams, there will be at least N antennas (here only 2). By spatially separating N streams across at least N antennas, N receiverswill be … Read more
