Faculty of Computer and Information Science (FRI) is organizing a seminar on "Spatial Modulation MIMO Systems for 5G Hierarchical and mmWave" intended for PhD students on 20 October 2016 from 4 pm to 6 pm in the lecture hall 19. The seminar will be given by eminent speaker Professor Dong Seog Han from the Kyungpook National University (KNU) in South Korea who is visiting Ljubljana for a week within the Erasmus+ programme to promote the launch of collaborations between researchers at FRI and KNU.

Abstract

Next generation 5G networks will provide gigabit-level throughput in the mmWave band. However, it is a great challenge to treat 5G wireless backhaul traffic in an effective way. In general, the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology can be utilized for high throughput networks. However, conventional MIMO technology cannot be used for 5G wireless backhaul networks due to the channel correlation.

In this talk, the 5G networks will be introduced with MIMO technology. Recently, the spatial modulation (SM) MIMO systems are considered for 5G wireless backhaul networks. The SM MIMO technology will be introduced with a performance comparison in wireless channels. In addition, a hidden data transmission scheme will be mentioned to improve the disadvantage of the SM MIMO.
