# Principle of Diversity : Combat Fading

For Single Link,
* **If the single link is in a deep fade, it disrupts communication.**
* There is No ALTERNATIVE.
* If single link is in deepfade, performance is BAD.

For Diveristy,
* Multiple links between TX,RX
* Alternative Path for communication.

Diversity is used in serval 3G/4G systems such as,
* 3G
* WCDMA
* HSDPA
* 4G
* HSDPA
* WiMAX

* With increasing # of anntenas L, Prob. of deep fade decreases.
* This leads to a significant decrease on BER.
### P.22

* **For system to be in DeepFade, all links have to be in DeepFade.**

### Diversity Order : To characterize Diversity of a system
# CDMA : Code Division Multiple Access

* CDMA : Is a multiple access Technology
* ### TDMA

* ### FDMA

* CDMA :
* **Different users are allocated Different codes.**
* use Codes for Multiple Access
# MIMO


* Possible by **Transmitting several info. streams in parallel.**
## Spatial Multiplexing

* 用空間去增加bit rate,而不是fc,time,etc.
