Abstract
This paper reports on investigations into capacity of ad hoc network whose nodes are equipped with multiple element antennas (MEAs). The investigation of this multi-user Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system takes into account mutual coupling (MC) in addition to spatial correlation that is present in array antennas. A closed-form expression for an upper bound of mutual information (capacity) of MIMO ad hoc network is derived. An optimal signal transmission scheme is proposed to maximize the MIMO ad hoc network capacity. Simulation results for capacity of non-optimized and optimized cases of signal transmission are presented.
Highlights
In recent years, the signal transmission technique employing multiple element antennas (MEAs) at two sides of a communication link has shown a great potential to significantly improve the transmission quality of wireless communication systems without the need for extra operational frequency bandwidth [1,2,3]

Summary
The signal transmission technique employing multiple element antennas (MEAs) at two sides of a communication link has shown a great potential to significantly improve the transmission quality of wireless communication systems without the need for extra operational frequency bandwidth [1,2,3]. Because of this attribute, the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique is envisaged for the generation of mobile communications. Mation (capacity) of MIMO ad hoc network taking into account spatial correlation and mutual coupling is derived.
