Abstract-This paper presents MIMO/CON ("MIMO with concurrent channel access and estimation"), a PHY/MAC crosslayer design delivering throughput scalable to many users for multiuser MIMO wireless networking. The basic idea of MIMO/CON is to allow concurrent launches of multiple data transmissions from multiple users so that a multi-antenna MIMO access point (AP) can fully realize its MIMO capacity gain. Using compressive sensing, MIMO/CON can estimate channel state information (CSI) of multiple channels simultaneously without requiring strict synchronization and coordination among distributed users. Furthermore, MIMO/CON can boost channel utilization without explicit access control by allowing the number of concurrent transmissions to exceed receive antennas momentarily. MIMO/CON has been implemented and evaluated on a 4×4 MIMO testbed with software-defined radios. Further, simulation results suggest that MIMO/CON can achieve a 210% improvement in MAC throughput over existing staggered access protocols in a 5-antenna AP scenario.
