This report researches advanced technologies and markets for wireless and wired communications systems that MIMO supports - Multiple Input/Multiple Output structures - to enhance their performance. It revises and updates earlier issues of the report as well as adds the analysis of latest technologies.
Users’ demand for more efficient networking brought to life many technological innovations. One of them is MIMO, which became very popular in wireless systems - almost all recent and future 3GPP standards use (or will be using) variations of such a technique. MIMO is also used in wireline systems.
This report is based on the analysis of MIMO-based communications systems, their technologies, and markets specifics.
In particular, the following industry standards that utilize MIMO have been considered:
- 3GPP LTE
- IEEE802.11ax
- IEEE802.11ay
- IEEE 802.11ac
- HomePlug AV2
- ITU G.hn - MIMO.
The goal of this report is to characterize MIMO advantages and specifics for each standard. It also addresses the market characteristics of discussed technologies. The report concentrates on profiling the industry players and their products. MIMO characteristics, structures, and types are also addressed and compared. The report also surveys patents related to the discussed subjects.
The report is written for a broad audience of managers and technical staff who are involved in the design and implementation of advanced communications systems.

Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed; evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted.
Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
