Performance analysis of MIMO-OFDM SystemsPaperback, 18 February 2011

The demand of different multimedia services and different internet supported applications on mobile devices requires a high speed data rate and good service quality. This can be obtained by implementing multiple Antenna technology on both stations i.e. User terminal and base station with an appropriate coding technique, and on the other hand MIMO can fulfill 3G & 4G demand and standard with a combination of other techniques. The MIMO diversity and MIMO multiplexing are the key factors to discuss and matter of concern is to achieve and support high speed data rate. MIMO multiplexing is a way to gain robustness and achievement in speed of data information. The MIMO-OFDM is the reproductive and highly famous services for Wireless broad band access. The combination of MIMO and OFDM accumulates the purpose of each and every scheme that will provide the high throughput. The current and main application of MIMO-OFDM is IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) which will gain high popularity and the researcher's attraction for further development and improvement.
