Finding MIMO
> MIMO = Multiple Input Multiple Output
Uses multiple antennas at cell site and user terminal:
Improved diversity performance
Exploits parallel spatial modes

> Better coverage of high rate data services

OFDM - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
> OFDM is a scalable modulation technique
Uses many sub-carriers / tones to carry signal. Frequency diversity.

> OFDM has advantages over CDMA:

Higher spectral efficiency. Scalable to different deployment scenarios.
More robust less multi-path interference. Simpler receiver
More amenable to MIMO technologies
