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:

    An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.
    Susan Faludi (20th century)

    Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
