MIMO Spatial Multiplexing in Depth

Introduction
Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology is a crucial element in modern wireless communication systems. It allows for increased data rates, improved reliability, and enhanced spectral efficiency by utilizing multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver.

Fundamentals of MIMO Spatial Multiplexing
2.1 Definition
MIMO spatial multiplexing is a transmission technique that exploits the spatial dimensions of a wireless channel to transmit multiple independent data streams simultaneously. Instead of sending a single data stream through each antenna, spatial multiplexing takes advantage of the additional antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to create multiple communication paths or spatial channels.

2.2 MIMO System Model
A typical MIMO system consists of multiple antennas at the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx). Let's denote the number of Tx antennas as Nt and the number of Rx antennas as Nr. The input data streams are represented as x1, x2, ..., xNt, and the received signals as y1, y2, ..., yNr. The system model can be described as follows:

y1 = H11x1 + H12x2 + ... + H1NxNt + n1
y2 = H21x1 + H22x2 + ... + H2NxNt + n2
...
yNr = HNr1x1 + HNr2x2 + ... + HNrNxNt + nNr

Where:

yi represents the received signal at the ith Rx antenna.
Hij represents the channel coefficient between the ith Rx antenna and the jth Tx antenna.
xi represents the transmitted signal from the jth Tx antenna.
ni represents additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) at the ith Rx antenna.
2.3 Spatial Multiplexing Principle
The fundamental idea behind spatial multiplexing is to use linear combinations of the transmitted signals to exploit the spatial diversity of the MIMO channel.

The transmitted signal vector from the Tx antennas is given by:
X = [x1, x2, ..., xNt]ᵀ

The received signal vector at the Rx antennas is given by:
Y = [y1, y2, ..., yNr]ᵀ

In spatial multiplexing, the goal is to recover the transmitted data vector X from the received data vector Y.

Mathematical Formulation
3.1 Encoding Matrix
The encoding matrix, often denoted as H, is used to map the input data vector X to the transmitted signal vector Y. It is critical in spatial multiplexing as it determines how data is distributed across the spatial channels. The encoding matrix H is typically defined as:
H = [H11 H12 ... H1Nt]
[H21 H22 ... H2Nt]
...
[HNr1 HNr2 ... HNrNt]

Where each Hij represents the channel coefficient between the ith Rx antenna and the jth Tx antenna.

3.2 Decoding Algorithm
At the receiver, the decoding algorithm aims to recover the original data vector X from the received signal vector Y. Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding is a common approach for spatial multiplexing. The ML decoder seeks to find the X that maximizes the likelihood function:

P(Y|X) = (1 / (π^(Nr) |Σ|)) * exp(-tr(Σ⁻¹(Y - HX)(Y - HX)ᵀ))

Where:

P(Y|X) is the likelihood of the received signal given the transmitted signal.
Σ is the covariance matrix of the noise.
tr denotes the trace of a matrix.
ML decoding involves searching for the X that maximizes this likelihood function. However, ML decoding can be computationally intensive for large MIMO systems due to the need to search over all possible symbol combinations.

Channel Capacity of MIMO Spatial Multiplexing
The channel capacity represents the maximum achievable data rate for a given channel and transmission scheme. For MIMO spatial multiplexing, the channel capacity can be computed using various techniques, including singular value decomposition (SVD) and water-filling algorithms. Let's explore the capacity formula for MIMO spatial multiplexing.
4.1 SVD-Based Capacity Formula
SVD is a technique used to diagonalize the channel matrix and simplify the capacity calculation. The channel capacity for a MIMO system with Nt Tx antennas and Nr Rx antennas is given by:

C = Σᵢ log₂(1 + γᵢ)

Where:

C is the channel capacity in bits per second (bps).
γᵢ represents the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ith singular value of the channel matrix.
The SNR γᵢ can be calculated as:
γᵢ = (λᵢ * SNR) / (1 + Σⱼ≠ᵢ λⱼ * SNR)

Where:

λᵢ represents the ith singular value of the channel matrix.
SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio.
4.2 Water-Filling Algorithm
The water-filling algorithm is another method to compute the channel capacity for MIMO spatial multiplexing. It provides insight into how the available power should be allocated to the spatial channels.

The capacity for a MIMO system with water-filling can be expressed as:
C = ∑ log₂(1 + λᵢ * Pᵢ / N₀)

Where:

C is the channel capacity in bps.
λᵢ represents the ith eigenvalue of the channel matrix.
Pᵢ represents the power allocated to the ith spatial channel.
N₀ is the noise power.
The water-filling algorithm determines the optimal power allocation Pᵢ that maximizes the capacity while satisfying the total power constraint:
Σ Pᵢ ≤ P_total
