Summary:
There are three basic parameters that completely describe the quality and usefulness of any wireless link: speed, range and reliability. Prior to the development of MIMOOFDM, the three parameters were interrelated according to strict rules. Speed could be increased only by sacrificing range and reliability. Range could be extended at the expense of speed and reliability. And reliability could be improved by reducing speed and range. MIMO OFDM has redefined the tradeoffs, clearly demonstrating that it can boost all three parameters simultaneously. While MIMO will ultimately benefit every major wireless industry including mobile telephone, the wireless LAN industry is leading the way in exploiting MIMO innovations.
