A Conceptual Development of MIMO Techniques and Its Advantages over Regular Networks in Mobile Communication Systems

Abstract

This study provides an insight into the development and deployment of MIMO systems and the numerous advantages derivable from its technology. In recent times these technologies with accelerated capacities have been developed and adopted globally for effective and efficient channel capacity utilization in telecommunication. MIMO is effectively a radio antenna technology that uses multiple antennas at the transmitters and receivers to enable a variety of signal paths to be used. Data were obtained from 4G networks, Long Term Evolution (LTE) and standard network architecture across the globe. Such data were analyzed using micro soft excel package. It is observed that MIMO enhanced network had various operational and commercial advantages over regular networks. These are considerable capacity improvement as well as enhancement of the radio link process reliability and better system performances.
