MIMO-capacities for COST 259 scenarios

Abstract

The capacity of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication systems depends on the spatial properties of the MIMO channel. This work shows how in particular partial correlation of channel coefficients affects the capacity of the system. For partially correlated channel coefficients the performance of such systems can be further be enhanced by the use of channel knowledge at the transmitter. Resulting capacity gains are presented for complete and only statistical knowledge of the channel at the transmitter.
