Channel State Information - Mathematical Description

Mathematical Description

In a narrowband flat-fading channel with multiple transmit and receive antennas (MIMO), the system is modeled as

where and are the receive and transmit vectors, respectively, and and are the channel matrix and the noise vector, respectively. The noise is often modeled as circular symmetric complex normal with

where the mean value is zero and the noise covariance matrix is known.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or description:

    The most distinct and beautiful statement of any truth must take at last the mathematical form.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.
    Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
