Abstract
In this paper, a novel graphene-based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) concept is proposed for high-rate nanoscale wireless communications between transceivers, which are nano/micrometers apart from each other. In particular, the proposed MIMO architecture considers exploiting a deep-subwavelength propagation channel made of graphene. This allows us to increase the number of transmitted symbol streams, while using a deep-subwavelength arrangement of individual plasmonic nanotransmit/receive elements in which the spacing between the transmitters and/or the receivers is tens of times smaller than the wavelength. This exclusive benefit is achieved with the aid of the phenomenon of graphene plasmons, where graphene offers the extremely confined and low-loss plasmon propagation. Hence, the proposed graphene-based MIMO system is capable of combating the fundamental limitations imposed on the classic MIMO configuration. We also present a novel graphene-specific channel adaptation technique, where the chemical potential of the graphene channel is varied to improve the power of the received signals.
