MIMO is a technology that is capable to enlarge the radio link capacity by employing numerous antennas in the transceiver for achieving multipath propagation. Therefore, MIMO is largely utilized in several wireless communication technologies in the form of protocols such as WiMAX, HSPA+ (3G), LTE, IEEE 802.11ac (Wi-Fi), and IEEE 802.11n (Wi-Fi). Overall, MIMO is intended to increase data rate and capacity in various communication technologies.

Overview of MIMO
MIMO-based communication has attained the greatest demand in current cellular technologies. Currently, it is highly incorporated with LTE, IMT-Advanced, cellular protocols (IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11n), Wi-Max, etc. Even though MIMO is furnished with so many benefits in wireless communication networks, it has some limitations in economic and physical aspects.
For example, the hand-held devices usually face limitation in employing antennas which supports only one or two.
Similarly, the other network entities in Wi-Fi / cellular frequencies such as base station, M-MIMO transmitter, access points, M-MIMO receiver, etc. are may be costly to deploy. And, it is also complex to process by some order of magnitude.

How does MIMO technology work?
Generally, MIMO transmits the information into various numbers of signals through a single radio channel employing multiple antennas. The reason behind using multiple antennas is to enhance signal strength and RF link.
Here, the transmitter and receiver have the same number of antennas to transmit and receive multiple data streams. The receiver receives the signals at minute time difference along with add-on interference, lost signals, noise, etc. All these functions are common in many communication technologies like OFDM, Wi-Max, LTE, etc. Further, we have given you a list of benefits of using MIMO technology.
