Introduction to MIMO
MIMO channel capacity
Midterm Postmortem
Grade distribution typical
Common Mistakes
Prob 1(d): For outage, target SNR must be based
on Pb in AWGN and not average Pb in fading
Prob 2(a)(ii): Instantaneous rate should not be
weighted by state probability
2(c): Transmit power is fixed , so formula same
as capacity w/ RX CSI only (not inversion)

Review of Last Lecture
Introduction to adaptive modulation
Variable-rate variable-power MQAM
Optimal power adaptation is water-filling
Optimal rate adaptation is R/B=log(/k)
