A Review of MIMO

 
 
 
 

Abstract


MIMO is the technology that allows equipment to work with both polarizations at the same time, both horizontally and vertically, and the devices make this function as a download-only polarization and another upload-only polarization. Others still do not do either of these controls and connect using both biases at the same time, so the data transfer rate can double. MIMO is an integral part of modern wireless communications technologies, whether you re talking about 802.11ac or 4G LTE Wi-Fi network data. It arose from a need to increase the transmission capacity of an access point and is basically the access point s ability to receive and send simultaneous streams. This technology has a feature that the higher the speed and the more antennas the device has, the more data it can transfer at one time, meaning faster wireless download and upload speeds. This chapter examines the MIMO technology and developments over the recent past as well as the upcoming integration into new mobile technologies, approaching its success, categorizing, and synthesizing the potential of technology.
