MIMO Transmission Concept (1/4)

MIMO refers to multi antenna technology system using multiple input signals and
multiple output signals from a single channel Requires two different antennas on UE side and NodeB side MIMO introduces spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing Spatial diversity signal copies are sent by two antennas and received at more than one
antenna. It improves signal quality Spatial Multiplexing more than one stream is sent over one frequency simultaneously

Requires second CPICH for estimation of the air interface channel Two modes of MIMO transmission possible: Single Stream and Dual Stream

MIMO Transmission Concept (2/4)

BTS decides whether single or dual stream mode should be used. Decision depends on, among other factors, information which is sent by UE (PCI, CQI, ACK/NACK)
In Single Stream Mode CQI type B are being reported (value range 0 30)

HS-DPCCH

CQI B, (N)ACK(s), Rank 1, PCI

In Dual Stream Mode CQI type A are being reported (value range 0 14)

Same information through two different Transport Block Sets : TBS1 & TBS2 (TBS2 = TBS1). Max theoretical throughput = 14.4 Mbps (16QAM) or 21Mbps (64QAM)

MIMO Weights
P-CPICH Other CCH

w1

s1

The spread and scrambled signals are fed to TX branches and weighted with precoding weights w1, w2, w3, w4 Primary precoding vector (w1, w2) is used for transmitting the primary transport block Secondary precoding vector (w3, w4) is used for transmitting the secondary transport block w1 is fixed and defined on NodeB w2 is chosen by NodeB on basis of feedback information from UE via PCI (Precoding Control Information) in order to SINR optimization 1  j 1  j 1  j 1  j , , , w2 2 2 2 2 w3 and w4 have to be mutually orthogonal to primary precoding vector and are defined base on w1 and w2 weights

Conditions on stream 1 are always better

Due to it the secondary precoding vector is not optimal from SINR optimization point of view Second stream conditions are worse than first stream

PCI and CQI Information
In MIMO case two different types of CQIs are used: CQI Type A are used for Dual Stream transmission CQI Type B are used for Single Stream transmission PCI (Precoding Control Indication) contains information about preferred precoding weight w2 Preferred precoding weight value is chosen by UE based on Primary and Secondary CPICH measurements and send to NodeB
