“…Theoretical analysis of the MIMO channel has shown that the best results are obtained when the number of receiving antennas at the base station is greater or equal to the total number of multiplexed data streams of all users, which is usually equal to the total number of transmitting antennas of all users [ 6 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. This conclusion has been originally obtained for a single user system [ 8 ], where it is shown that when the condition is met, the system bandwidth increases linearly from the number of transmitting antennas.…”
