Space-division multiple access (SDMA) uses directional or smart antennas to
communicate on the same frequency with users in different locations within range of the
same base station. An SDMA system was proposed by ichard oy and !"#rn $ttersten%
researchers at Array&omm% in ''.
unctions of M*M$
M*M$ can be sub-divided into three main categories% precoding% spatial multiple+ing or
SM% and diversity coding.
Spatial multiplexing requires M*M$ antenna configuration. *n spatial multiple+ing% a
high-rate signal is split into multiple lower-rate streams and each stream is transmitted
from a different transmit antenna in the same frequency channel. *f these signals arrive
at the receiver antenna array with sufficiently different spatial signatures and the receiver
has accurate &S*% it can separate these streams into (almost) parallel channels. Spatial
multiple+ing is a very powerful technique for increasing channel capacity at higher signal-
to-noise ratios (S,). he ma+imum number of spatial streams is limited by the lesser of
the number of antennas at the transmitter or receiver. Spatial multiple+ing can be used
without &S* at the transmitter% but can be combined with precoding if &S* is available.
Spatial multiple+ing can also be used for simultaneous transmission to multiplereceivers% nown as space-division multiple access or multi-user M*M$% in which case
&S* is required at the transmitter. /012 he scheduling of receivers with different spatial
signatures allows good separability.
Diversity coding techniques are used when there is no channel nowledge at the
transmitter. *n diversity methods% a single stream (unlie multiple streams in spatial
multiple+ing) is transmitted% but the signal is coded using techniques called space-time
coding. he signal is emitted from each of the transmit antennas with full or near
orthogonal coding. Diversity coding e+ploits the independent fading in the multiple
antenna lins to enhance signal diversity. !ecause there is no channel nowledge% there
is no beamforming or array gain from diversity coding. Diversity coding can be combined
with spatial multiple+ing when some channel nowledge is available at the transmitter.

MU-MIMO
*n radio% multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) is a set of
advanced MIMO (pronounced mee-moh or my-moh)% multiple-input and multiple-
output% technologies where the available antennas are spread over a multitude of
independent access points and independent radio terminals - each having one or
multiple antennas. *n contrast% single-user M*M$ considers a single multi-antenna
transmitter communicating with a single multi-antenna receiver. o enhance the
communication capabilities of all terminals% M3-M*M$ applies an e+tended
version of space-division multiple access (SDMA) to allow multiple transmitters
to send separate signals and multiple receivers to receive separate signals
simultaneously in the same band. 431& is a fundamental and practical M3-
M*M$ technology for broadcast and multiple access wireless communications.
5ie the relationship between $DM and $DMA% M3-M*M$ (and% similarly%
SDMA) can be thought of as an e+tension of M*M$ applied in various ways as a
multiple access strategy. A significant difference is that the performance of M3-
M*M$ relies on precoding capability than $DMA so that if the transmitter does
not use precoding% the performance advantage of M3-M*M$ is not achievable./'2
Multiple access M*M$% M*M$-SDMA%/12/'2 massive M*M$%/02 cooperative M*M$%
coordinated multipoint (&oM4) or in other wordsmacrodiversity%/62 and ad hoc
M*M$ are all family terminologies within M3-M*M$% as each of those
technologies leverages multiple users as a degree of freedom in achieving
successful radio transmission.

• !eamforming alters the phase of each element in an antenna array to
create spatial beam patterns through constructive and destructive interference.
• Space-time coding7processing performs antenna diversity with multiple
antennas at either transmitter or receiver side or both sides% where every
antenna element is separated from its nearest element by around four to ten
times the wavelength to eep the signal through each multi-path independent.
he distance between two ad"acent antenna elements is relying on the angular
spread of the beam signal.
• Space-division multiple access (SDMA) is a common and typical multiple
input multiple output scheme in cellular wireless systems. SDMA is often
referred to as simply a M*M$ system since the half port of a SDMA system
also consists of multiple users. Although SDMA is indeed a M*M$ technique%
M*M$ is not necessarily SDMA.
• Spatial multiple+ing is performed by multiple antennas equipped at both a
transmitter and a receiver front end.
• &ooperation are nown as networ M*M$ systems% distributed M*M$
systems% macrodiversity M*M$% or virtual antenna array systems. Mobile
devices use the partnered mobile devices8 antennas% antenna arrays% or
antenna elements as virtual antennas.

Multi-user M*M$ can leverage multiple users as spatially distributed transmission
resources% at the cost of somewhat more e+pensive signal processing. *n
comparison% conventional% or single-user M*M$ considers only local device
multiple antenna dimensions. Multi-user M*M$ algorithms are developed to
enhance M*M$ systems when the number of users% or connections% numbers
greater than one (admittedly% a useful concept). Multi-user M*M$ can be
generali9ed into two categories: M*M$ broadcast channels (M*M$ !&) and M*M$multiple access channels (M*M$ MA&) for downlin and uplin situations%

o remove ambiguity of the words receiver and transmitter % we can adopt theterms access point (A4; or% base station)% and user . An A4 is the transmitter and a

networ. he power control in either !S or MS is implemented in most modern
networs% especially on the MS% as this ensures a better battery life for the MS
and thus a better user e+perience (in that the need to charge the battery becomes
less frequent). his is why it may actually be safer to have a !S close to you as
your MS will be powered down as much as possible. or e+ample% there is more
power being transmitted from the MS than what you would receive from the !S
