[@go4expert888]

One of the best videos on MIMO. Very nicely explained !! . just a little confusion, with multi user mimo and beamforming why we can use same RBs - same frequency domain- within different uEs when we use different beams index .. why we can use same RBs for different uEs? I mean at basestation - gNB , lets say there's 100Mhz bandwidth so 273 rbs , lets assume same 100rbs allocated for uE1 in certain beam and the same 100rbs allocated to uE2 in another beam , but at the end the cell has the same 100 rbs so doesn't matter the beam index , if we use same rbs within different uEs there will be interferences and overwritten data since different uEs uses same rbs ..but from cell view those are same rbs doesn't matter which beam index is .. can you please clarify more why when we use different beam indexes then we can transmit same amount of rbs for paired uEs in different beams? .. if beam index is affecting so I can say in massive mimo and beamforming at each beam index .. I have for each beam all the bandwidth?! Im confused on that point how the cell bandwidth for each beam is shared like each beam has full cell bandwidth? thanks for your clarification.

[@OurTechPlanet]

You can say like each beam can use the full bandwidth but to reduce interference between UEs, only a limited number of UEs can be paired and that pairing can only happen for UEs that are separated in space (so that they have beam separation as well).

Beam separation is required in DL but not in UL. why?

[@OurTechPlanet]

If you are using UL MU-MIMO then UL will also need separation. However, since the UE does not do beam-forming so all the processing is done at the gNB side.

[@indramani8888]

@@OurTechPlanet agree. But as far as I know in UL we don't have any separation or you may say the UE orthogonality dependency unlike DL.

[@OurTechPlanet]

You are welcome!

[@azamatkenzhetaiuly3093]

Hi Ali, Thanks for video! I have on question about mimo: I don't fully understand how MIMO improves capacity, because in my current understanding capacity is how much PRB we have. But I understand that MIMO improves spectral efficiency(since we can transmit more bits), but it doesn't add PRBs for us, so how can it improve capacity?

[@OurTechPlanet]

In simple words, with 1x1 system (SISO), if we have 100 PRBs, then the system can send data on those 100 PRBs. However , if we have 2x2 system (MIMO) then the system can send data-1 on first Tx path using 100 PRBs and it can send data-2 on the second Tx using 100 PRBs again. So, it doubles the capacity. The implementation is not as simple as the multiplexing is done on both tx paths but simply put that is how it increases capacity.

great video but how is the I11 AND i12 are linked to certain beam? or they just represent like the coordinates?

[@OurTechPlanet]

The mathematics are complex but you can read about this in 3GPP 38214 under 5.2.2.2. Mainly, i11 tells about azimuth angle while i12 indicates about elevation angle and i13 talks about layers.

[@moviesbox6900]

Thanks for a impressive presentation , i just get bit confuse on the concept of beamforming vs Antenna elements i.e 64T64 ( 64 Antenna elements in DL/UL ) meaning 16 4x 4 MIMO groups with the help of massive MIMO, so in this case , is Antenna is transmitting 64 Beams ?

[@OurTechPlanet]

In the current market, this is more of an implementation specific thing. But usually 16 beams at the same time are the upper limit as increasing it more than this causes too much interference

[@moviesbox6900]

@@OurTechPlanet Ok but currently all new 5G modules are coming with 64T64R , it means they supposed to support 16 X ( 4x4) MIMO users simultaneously. However if upper limitation of beams is 16 as you mentioned, is it means these 64T64R are actually working like 16T16R?

If CSI-RS 32 ports is used the gNB will transmit 32 signals to the Ue, which in turn applies PMIs to all of these 32 signals for SINR calculation.Is it correct? Thank you

[@luannaabreu731]

Hello Sir, Definition of the concept of ERB coverage area (gNodeB) when using narrow beam pointing generated by MIMO antenna in beamforming (BF) mode: Pointing a narrow beam covers, at maximum gain (up to 3 dB below), a relatively small area around the UE reference point (or UE cluster). How, therefore, is the concept of the coverage area of an ERB, and its correlate, the percentage of coverage area (a statistical parameter that considers the effect of log-normal multipath shading and weights its effects in an area around the ERB)? When considering the multi-user MIMO mode, with multiple narrow beams... The coverage area of an ERB would be defined considering all the beams pointed at different points in the surrounding area, or for each beam, is an area or sub-area of coverage defined? In the previous question, the starting point of view was what happens in the vertical plane that contains the ERB and UE antennas. There is also a concern with what happens in the signal distribution in the horizontal plane. In previous generations, a fundamental related concept is the division of the coverage area by sectors, something that was directly related to the beamwidth of the ERB antennas. For example, using 120º beam antennas, 3 antennas covered the 360º that would characterize the entire area. With multiple beams, one can imagine maintaining this concept and expanding the number of sectors. For example, with widths of 10 degrees per beam, horizontally, 36 would be needed to cover the entire area. From the above, I ask: the concept of the coverage sector remains in 5G, adapted to the multiple beams of the antennas MIMO? Given the considerable (apparently) change in planning: do the concepts of coverage area and percentage of coverage area remain essential for planning? What other related concepts came to be used? On 4G, are they already used? Given the complexity of using and coordinating multiple beams: in which scenarios and application conditions, will the MIMO strategy with multiple beams be used? The macro scenario is extreme broadband, communication ultra-reliable, or massive communication for multiple users? Is the environment outdoors, indoors, or both? Is the band sub-6 GHz or millimeter wave? Still on the previous question, in the scenarios foreseen for using MIMO with multiple beams, another question arises. In which of these beamforming scenarios will be “fixed” and in which will it be adaptive (following cluster of users, with or without the interposition of nulls of the radiation pattern in the directions of other groups considered interference for that cluster)? Finally, considering all the different aspects of previous generations brought by the multi-user (multibeam) MIMO approach of 5G discussed here…. How has the link budget analysis been (or needs to be) adapted to address these aspects? Best Regards!

[@OurTechPlanet]

A simple way is to just add a beam forming gain in the link budget for data calculations

[@indramani8888]

here which SINR you are talking about ? CSI RS or SSB SINR?

[@OurTechPlanet]

For traffic channels, SSB SINR is not used.

[@Rated_NPK]

Thank you very much for such an informative video. I have a question related to 'How to choose the beam' section. In this video, CSI feedback from the UE is used to tell the gNB about the best beam. However, during initial access isn't SSB used for beam sweeping purpose and select the best beam in terms of coverage? CSI feedback will come only after the initial access is successful and DL data scheduling is to be done by gNB. The beam related precoding will then be fine-tuned based on CSI feedback right ? Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@OurTechPlanet]

During initial access, the SSB beam is used. And after that, the CSI based beams are used for all traffic relation transfers. This session is focused on traffic or data beam forming. For SSB beam forming, kindly take a look at this session kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3KthH98l9WarJo

You said in MU MIMO pairing blue & green UE are using same freq & time domain resources but with the diff beam, here my queries are 1) same time domain mean they got scheduled in the same TTI? 2) if Blue and green UE are using different beams in MU MIMO but what about in SU MIMO case, beamforming will be applicable for that also right, and can they still be having different beams?

[@OurTechPlanet]

1. yes 2. they will have different time/frequency domain allocation in SU-MIMO

[@xiaofengcheng6692]

Thank you, very interesting.

[@OurTechPlanet]

[@kakhaval]

The antenna directivity is controlled by two modules; precoder and beam forming. You mentioned PMI is used to decide beam for a given UE. That is ok at precoder module level but how then the UE beam is further enhanced at beamforming module.

[@animalexplorerkid5764]

Thank you , one question which often confuses me, so like you said , 32T32R Theoretically will give 8X 4t4R capacity gain , if its so, how many DL MIMO layer will be transmitted from 32T32R , apparently it should be 32 layers which is not the case in practical , Can you please explain this ?

[@OurTechPlanet]

For Single user, 32T32R or 64T64R, the maximum DL layers supported by a single UE right now are 4. So, the capacity of single UE does not increase. However, these higher Tx antenna units provide better gain and beamforming capabilities which can improve the overall capacity by increasing the quality. But if we talk about multiple users then these higher Tx antennas support MU-MIMO which can increase cell capacity.

Want to clear one concept of layers and beams in massive mimo. Suppose a UE can receive 4 layers in terms of 4T4R so it means it can have 4 beams from antenna simultaneously and in multi user mimo does it combine all that 4 beams with another UE?

[@OurTechPlanet]

Yes, conceptually, it will use beams that are spatially separated - that is why not all users can be MU-MIMO pairs. Moreover, it is difficult to perform MU-MIMO with higher rank so it is mostly done with lower rank/layer count.
