Space diversity and space multiplexing gain can be achieved with MIMO system. This paper proposes spatial coding method to MIMO system using data information and antenna selection technique. This technique provides coding gain as well as space diversity gain. For MIMO system with BPSK modulation, BER performance is analyzed and space diversity gains are compared through simulation in terms of data maldistribution degree.

This paper presents the applicability of MIMO joint decoding to dual-contact satellite systems in which two LEO satellites using X-band frequency band are transmitting each image data to two ground station antennas, simultaneously. When two satellites are closely positioned within the looking angle of the two antennas, each satellite interferes with each other by the relative antenna gain corresponding to an offset angle and this might cause the performance degradation without interference mitigation. To mitigate the performance degradation, SM MIMO techniques for joint decoding are applied. Especially, the relative antenna gain of ground station depending on the angle difference between two satellites in ground station antenna plays an important role in modelling the dual-contact satellite systems. The condition number of MIMO channel including the antenna gain calculated from the mathematical gain pattern model was primarily analyzed. Simulation results showed that the SM MIMO techniques using detection schemes such as ZF-SIC, MMSE-SIC, and ML can be applicable to dual-contact satellite systems.

In this paper, we provide a general expression of spatial multiplexing gain (SMG) for two mutually interfering multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channels, referred to as MIMO-IBC, when some of user messages are made available to base stations through a common noiseless backbone line. The MIMO-IBC has two base stations and multiple users, each equipped with multiple antennas, where independent messages are transmitted over fixed channels. From the derived results, we observe the variation of the SMG with respect to the presence of a coordination as well as various antenna distributions, and compare the derived result to the SMG of the case with full cooperation among users.

This paper propose a dual-layer beam-forming technique for MIMO-OFDM systems. Dual-layer beam-forming is a capacity enhancing technique to transmit two streams of source data with more than two transmit and receive antennas. Beamforming is a technique to enhance the link-level performances gain using antenna array with the small inter element distance. The proposed scheme can obtain both high capacity of spatial multiplexing and antenna array gain of beamforming for MIMO-OFDM systems. Therefore, it provides better BER performance than the traditional spatial multiplexing and beamforming techniques under the same simulation environment.

In a cooperative communication system with a source node and multiple relays equipping single antenna and a destination node equipping multiple antennas, the selective cooperative spatial multiplexing scheme can obtain spatial multiplexing gain and additional selection diversity gain. But it can degrade a bit error rate performance because some received symbols forwarded from particular relays may be lost by attenuation due to path-loss. We propose a relay and transmission mode selection scheme which selects minimum number of multiple relays having the channel capacity larger than a given data rate and transmission mode which switches spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity mode in cooperation phase to enhance the bit error rate performance. The proposed scheme achieves 1.5~2dB gain at the low SNR range compared with the conventional scheme by obtaining additional spatial diversity gain.

In this paper, we first study the spatial multiplexing gain for the 3-cell interfering broadcast channels (IFBC) where all base stations and mobile users are equipped with multiple antennas. Then, we present the IA scheme in conjunction with user selection which outperforms the TDMA technique in the IFBC environment. The optimal scheduling method utilizes multiuser diversity to achieve a significant fraction of sum capacity by using an exhaustive search algorithm. To reduce the computational complexity, a suboptimal scheduling method is proposed based on a coordinate ascent approach.

Antenna grouping algorithm is hybrid of beamforming and spatial multiplexing. In antenna grouping system, we partition $N_t$ transmit antennas into $N_r$ groups and use beamforming in a group, spatial multiplexing between groups. We can transmit $N_r$ data streams in the $N_t{\times}N_r$ antenna grouping system. With antenna grouping, we can achieve diversity gain through beamforming, and high spectral efficiency through spatial multiplexing. But if channel is ill-conditioned or there are some correlations between antennas, the performance of antenna grouping is seriously degraded and in that case, beamforming is the best transmit strategy. By selecting the antenna grouping mode when channel is well-conditioned and by selecting the beamforming mode when channel is ill-conditioned, we can prevent serious fluctuation of BER performance caused by varying channel condition and achieve the best BER performance. In this paper, we investigate mode selection algorithm which can select antenna grouping mode or beamforming mode. we also propose a simple mode selection criterion.

In typical cellular systems using frequency reuse scheme, the terminal suffers a performance degradation due to the intercell interference signals from adjacent cells as the terminal moves toward the cell boundary. In this paper, a signal transmission and reception scheme which achieve spatial multiplexing and beamforming gain from a distributed MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) channel using multiple-antenna terminal is proposed for the spectral efficiency enhancement in a multi-cell downlink environment, when geographically separated base stations cooperatively transmit signals. In particular, we analyze the effective signal-to-interference ratio and spectral efficiency of the proposed scheme for different frequency reuse patterns and for varying numbers of receive antennas, and compare with the performance of the MRC (maximal ratio combining) reception scheme in typical cellular systems. We evaluate the amount of transmission efficiency of the scheme by comparing the performance near the cell boundary where the strong intercell interference is experienced.
