Physical (PHY) Layer Analysis of Data Transmission in MIMO Wireless Networks in Line-of-Sight (LoS) Environments.

This research paper presents the Physical (PHY) layer analysis of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems in line-of-sight environments between a user equipment (UE) and a base station when an information data is transmitted. The data transmission in wireless networks often takes place in non-line-of-sight in urban environments and Line-of-Sight (LoS) in rural environments depending on the bandwidth, power constraints. Using MIMO technology, the data transmission takes place with increased number of transmit and receive antennas which results in reduced signal to noise ratio (SNR) requirement. In this research work, simulation for PHY layer metric of probability of error, mean square error (MSE) for data transmission in MIMO wireless networks is obtained Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) for LoS environment which follows Rician distribution. Probability of error reduces to a significant extent when the Rician factor increases as the line-of-sight component prevails which also takes lesser power in the lower SNR limits. Further, in MIMO systems also the probability of error and MSE reduces in concatenation with single antenna terminals thereby exploring power control a significant possibility for implementation in massive MIMO and millimeter wave communication systems for 5G and 6G systems.
