Abstract
As the radio resources are scarce and data rate requirements keep increasing, spectral efficiency is a stringent requirement in present and future wireless communications systems, MIMO-OFDM has become a new “star” in the “constellation” of wireless and mobile communications. Its potential to increase spectral efficiency has not been reached by any other technology before. In addition to increasing spectral efficiency, MIMO can also be used to reduce transmitting power while keeping coverage areas constant. The use of MIMO technology in future transmission systems for broadcasting, multicasting and unicasting represents real business logic also for broadcasting corporations because of the possible reduction in transmission stations. This Chapter covers Closed Loop MIMO, multi-antenna in OFDM, space diversity, space-time coding, Allamouti code, spatial multiplexing, collaborative spatial multiplexing, diversity and array gains, system model for MIMO OFDM, support of MIMO in IEEE 802.16, beamforming and trade-off between spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity, among other issues.
