Abstract:
Presented are MIMO communications architectures among terminals with enhanced capability of frequency reuse by strategically placing active scattering platforms at right places. These architectures will not depend on multipaths passively from geometry of propagation channels and relative positions of transmitters and those of receivers. For advanced communications which demand high utility efficiency of frequency spectrum, multipath effects are purposely deployed through inexpensive active scattering objects between transmitters and receivers enable a same frequency slot be utilized many folds such as 10×, 100× or even more. These active scatters are to generate favorable geometries of multiple paths for frequency reuse through MIMO techniques. These scatters may be man-made active repeaters, which can be implemented as small as 5 to 10 watt lightbulbs for indoor mobile communications such as in large indoor shopping malls. The architecting concept can be certainly implemented via mini-UAV platforms parking on tops of light-poles, or tree tops, or tops of stadiums, or circulating in small “figure-8” or small circles slowly. This systems can be pushed to facilitate >>100× frequency reuses among users. It may be one of possible solutions for 5G deployment and many other applications which needs high efficiency in frequency utility.
