The Medea+ 2A103 MIMOWA project aims at simulating, implementing, validating and evaluating wireless MIMO (Multiple Input<br />
Multiple Output) building blocks (IP, Silicon and FPGA content) for Cellular 3G (Long Term Evolution), WiMAX (Fixed and mobile)<br />
and WiFi air interfaces. The project aims at three-fold, to explain the advantages of MIMO to a broad public, to perform state of<br />
the art analysis of the real MIMO advantages, and also to anticipate future design challenges. The program will start with MIMO<br />
systems simulations, focus on the design and implementation of these building blocks and finish by validating and demonstrating<br />
the implementations. These demonstrations will have two-fold ambitions, to explain the advantages of MIMO to a broad public,<br />
but also to perform state of the art analysis of the real MIMO advantages. Finally, a great care is taken in order to also anticipate<br />
future design challenges by having a work package focusing on the long-term MIMO evolutions.
