Abstract
The need for high data rate and better quality of service in wireless communications has become imperative in the past few years judging by user demand. Obtaining these requirements has become very challenging for wireless communication systems due to the problems of channel multi-path fading, higher power and bandwidth limitations. One of the most promising solutions to this problem is the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system. This paper proposed a combined spatial multiplexing MIMO scheme with beamforming for high data rate wireless communication. The proposed transmission scheme combines the benefits of both techniques resulting in the system ability to transmit parallel data streams as well as provide beamforming gain. Actually, these diverse techniques, share the same requirement of multiple antenna elements, but differ in the antenna element spacing necessary for the different schemes to work. Thus, smart antenna arrays were proposed as a possible solution and were adopted at both the transmitter and the receiver. The proposed hybrid technique provides better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance than the conventional MIMO, spatial multiplexing or beamforming technique alone under the same simulation environment.
