Abstract
Chapter 11 analyzes the performance of MAC schemes based on physical and logical MIMO for uplink sharing in a centralized wireless network. These analytical results are used in this chapter to provide a numerical comparison of the schemes. This comparison shows that, without a per-frame reservation, the MAC based on the logical MIMO can very much outperform that with the physical MIMO in most of the investigated scenarios. With a per-frame reservation, the physical MIMO-based MAC can outperform the logical one mainly when the number of data slots available per frame is large. This finding may suggest an alternative way to exploit MIMO in centralized wireless networks such as cellular networks, since almost no change in mobile terminal hardware is required.
