THE IMPACT OF DIFFERENT MIMO STRATEGIES ON THE NETWORK-OUTAGE PERFORMANCE

摘要

In this paper, we analyze the performance of different multiple antenna transmission techniques in wireless networks with interference treated as noise. Our focus is on the impact of simple orthogonal space time codes (STC) on the so-called network-outage probability. Analytical results are given for some simple networks. These results show insufficiency of many traditional space-time coding designs under interference conditions. Simulations suggest that the main statements of this paper may also hold for general wireless networks, provided that the interference is sufficiently strong.
