Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Wireless Systems

The paper gives an overview of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems and discusses their benefi ts enabling an increase in the system capacity and an increase of system reliability. The former is attained by signal multiplexing and the later by space encoding. The basic algorithms required for a proper operation of the MIMO systems, i.e. channel estimation, equalisation, optimal and suboptimal receivers, are described. In the conclusion, open problems of the MIMO systems are outlined.
