Project Introduction
The project work is carried out as part of the CDIO course TSKS05 offered by Division of Communication Systems at ISY in cooperation with Ericsson, Linköping. Project work includes deriving mathematical models for MIMO transmission techniques in LTE. LTE supports advanced multi antenna (MIMO) solutions to reach aggressive performance in terms of capacity and coverage. The target for the project is to derive a receiver model which includes Transmit Diversity and Open-Loop Spatial Multiplexing. Our receiver model will calculate signal to interference plus noise ratios, SINR, while simulations are run during different scenarios. The derived models are implemented in a Java based radio network simulator at Ericsson Research.
The project group comprised of eight persons, where one person performed the responsibilities of Project Manager. The project work was carried out in an organized manner according to the LIPS Project Model. Proper documentation has been kept. Some of the key documents regarding the project are Project Plan, Requirement Specification and Design Specification.

The project work incorporates all the knowledge from previous courses from the Communication Systems domain, making the project work a way to practically put in use the bookish knowledge gained in years. In this respect this CDIO project is both a great learning opportunity and fun.
Students looking to perceive careers in communication industry are strongly recommended to take up this course as it bridges theoretical knowledge and current industry trends. We, as students working on this project, have come a long way in knowing the communication industry. The work exposure at Ericsson has alone been a head start on our soon-to-start professional careers.
