We consider a low-complexity adaptive MIMO transmission approach for spatially correlated channels. The proposed scheme adaptively switches between different transmission modes depending on the changing channel conditions, as a means to enhance system capacity. Each mode is a combination of a transmission technique (ie. statistical beamforming, double space-time transmit diversity and spatial multiplexing) and a modulation/coding scheme. We first motivate our adaptive algorithm by deriving new closed-form capacity expressions, and demonstrating significant information theoretic improvements over non-adaptive transmission. We then present a practical method to switch between different modes, based on the channel statistics. Our approach is shown to yield significant improvements in spectral efficiency for typical channel scenarios.
