This is due to the fact that, unlike base stations, relays are low-cost nodes that can be easily deployed and, hence, enhances the network agility. The vast majority of works in the context of relaying networks make the assumption of ideal transceiver hardware. The vast majority of technical contributions in the area of relaying assume ideal transceiver hardware. Technological advances can reduce transceiver impairments, but there is currently an opposite trend towards small low-cost low-power transceivers where the inherent dirty RF effects are inevitable and the transmission is instead adapted to them. We prove analytically that such physical MIMO channels have a finite upper capacity limit, for any channel distribution and SNR. The high-SNR slope thus collapses to zero. One explanation is the finite channel coherence time that limits the resources for channel acquisition and coordination between nodes, thus creating a finite fundamental ceiling for the network spectral efficiency— irrespectively of the power and the number of antennas. sannetna ,snoitats esab ,erawdrah ,RNS I. Introduction Wireless communication enjoys considerable attention in the research community. Recent advances are mainly market driven by the demand for applications with increased data rates. Especially, wireless local area networks (WLANs), which aim at replacing wired computer network infrastructure with wireless communication technology, seem to raise a strong demand for further research and development. Different approaches to boost WLAN data rates have been considered in the past, as reflected in the amendments of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards, First, data rates up to 11 Mbit/s are supported by IEEE 802.11b compliant equipment. The modulation is direct sequence spread spectrum-based, which renders wireless channel equalization a complex task in the receiver. Unlike the conventional point-to-point channels, in a wireless network, the overall throughput of the system is interference limited. That is, boosting up the transmitted power of a user cannot efficiently increase the spectrum efficiency of the network, since strong signals transmitted by one user acts as strong interference on other users. Therefore, it is of interest to develop approaches to increase the spectrum efficiency without increasing the transmitted power. With the introduction of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) [15] techniques in the popular IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g standards, data rates up to 54 Mbits/s in a bandwidth of 20 MHz can be realized with low complexity channel equalization. Channel bonding, i.e., expanding the bandwidth from 20 MHz to 40 MHz, doubles the data throughput in some systems. OFDM has been employed in other standards as well due to its suitability for transmission over wireless links that exhibit frequency selectivity. These include standards for metropolitan area networks such as the IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) standard. Even for broadcast systems, OFDM is becoming increasingly important. This manifests itself through the introduction of digital radio mondiale and digital audio broadcast in the short- wave bands and high-frequency bands, respectively. For video broadcasting, OFDM with advanced data compression techniques is also set to replace legacy analog transmission schemes. While higher throughput is anticipated, the available bandwidth for wireless systems is generally limited. This calls for technologies that achieve a higher throughput per bandwidth, i.e., higher spectral efficiency. Especially in crowded places, such as airports, train stations, or convention centers, low system capacity provided by today’s technology poses a problem, which is the cause for insufficient data rates to individual users demanding basic data services. II. Mimo Technology MIMO technology allows multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver to transmit independent data streams concurrently in the same frequency band (see Figure 1). This principle, generally known as spatial multiplexing, results in a significantly higher spectral efficiency compared to single-input single-output (SISO) systems due to spatial diversity enabling a multiplexing gain. However, the detection algorithms employed in
