Abstract :
We study constrained resource allocation problems for MIMO wireless ad-hoc networks under LOS fading. By considering the tradeoff between the aggregate consumed power and throughput of such networks, we investigate the performance characteristics of a number of MIMO coding techniques, namely MRC, STBCs, and orthogonal STTCs. Our study shows that utilizing space-time coding techniques can decrease the power consumption and/or increase the achievable throughput of ad-hoc networks under loss constraints
