OW911NF-12-R-0011-03: ARO Research Area 10: Network Science: Optimal Use of Multiple Antennas in Tactical Interference Networks - MIMO, IA and Beyond

Abstract

The objective of this proposed research is to investigate the trade-offs between using antenna diversity for MIMO or for interference alignment (IA) within multi-hop networks. Emerging radio equipment will have multiple antennas and it is important to understand how and under what circumstances different techniques should be used. The approach is divided into three interrelated tasks. The first two tasks investigate conventional MIMO and IA performance under similar conditions in order to understand the trade-offs between the two. The third task goes beyond the first two to investigate performance of networks in more detail than the standard min-cut max-flow techniques.
