The recent development of communication theory and radio technology has intensified the interest of multi-antenna systems as an effective technique to combat fading and reduce the effect of channel interference. Recently, many proposals within the frame work of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have been introduced in order to improve the received signal quality and increase the transmission rates over wireless links. From the signal quality point of view, it is known that the reception of multiple copies of the transmitted data improves the system performance relative to single antenna systems. From the channel capacity point of view, it has been demonstrated that multiple antennas have the potential to dramatically increase the achievable data rates. In this proposal, we will investigate the performance of MIMO systems in wireless ad hoc networks. In the proposed research, we plan to focus on providing rigorous and accurate analyses for MIMO ad hoc networks.  This will include study of both physical and medium access control layer design issues.
