Description: The project aims to improve the communication performances in terms of capacity (data rate), error rate, energy consumption, diversity gain, array gain, coding gain
– today, the MIMO techniques are used in WLAN, WiMAX, LTE standards, but in satellite or deep-space communications this technology has not been applied yet
Project objectives:
- to design and implement different spatial diversity techniques used in classical Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems
- to extend, develop and implement the MIMO techniques in space and ground applications
- Land Mobile Satellite (LMS) communications
- Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
Activities:
- WP0 – Project Management
- WP1 – Concept definition
- WP2 – Algorithms development for spatial diversity techniques
- WP3 – MIMO-LMS system development for satellite communications
- WP4 – MIMO-WSN system development for wireless sensor networks
Contributions to the STAR programme objectives:
- MIMO techniques have a large impact in Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) sector
- software simulators are an easier and faster way to model and analyze a communication system
- human resource development by implication of PhD students or Master students
- we learn how to achieve ESA high standards
