MIMO Systems (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
What they are?
MIMO: use of techniques of multiple transmit and receive antennas to improve throughput and/or reliability MIMO in communication networks: given power, bandwidth, density of cells, how MIMO is used to maximize cell throughput (bps/Hz/m2 )?

Types of gains in MIMO systems
Diversity gain: multiple copies of the transmitted stream are sent by the different channels; improve reliability (robustness) and range; may reduce required power Spatial multiplexing (SM) gain: multiple streams sent and distinguished at receiver based on spatial characteristics; increase
