A system which uses multiple antennas at the transmitter and a single antenna at the receiver is named Multiple Input Single (MISO). A technique known as Alamouti STC (Space Time Coding) is employed at the transmitter with two antennas. STC transmitter to transmit signals (information) both in time and space, meaning the information is transmitted by two antennas a different times consecutively.
Multiple antennas (each with an RF chain) of either SIMO or MISO are usually placed at a base station (BS). This way, the c providing either a receive diversity (in SIMO) or transmit diversity (in MISO) can be shared by all subscriber stations (SSs) s the BS. MIMO
To multiply throughput of a radio link, multiple antennas (and multiple RF chains accordingly) are put at both the transmitter receiver. This system is referred to as Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). A MIMO system with similar count of antenn the transmitter and the receiver in a point-to-point (PTP) link is able to multiply the system throughput linearly with every ad antenna. For example, a 2x2 MIMO will double the throughput.

MIMO often employs Spatial Multiplexing (SM) to enable signal (coded and modulated data stream) to be transmitted across spatial domains. Meanwhile, Mobile WiMAX supports multiple MIMO modes, that's using either SM or STC or both to spectral efficiency (increase throughput) without shrinking the coverage area. The dynamic switching between these modes b channel conditions is called Adaptive MIMO Switching (AMS). If combined with AAS (Adaptive Antenna System) boost WiMAX performance. MIMO is a hot topic in today wireless communications since all wireless technologies (PAN, LAN, MAN, and WAN) try to increase data rate multiple times to satisfy their bandwidth-hungry broadband users.
