N2 - Use of multiple antennas or MIMO has great potential for enhancing the throughput of multi-hop wireless networks via spatial reuse and/or spatial division multiplexing. In this paper, we characterize and analyze the maximum achievable throughput in multi-hop wireless MIMO networks under three MIMO protocols, spatial reuse only (SRP), spatial multiplexing only (SMP), and spatial reuse & multiplexing (SRMP), each of which enhances throughput via a different way of exploiting the MIMO's potential. We show via extensive simulation that as the number of antennas increases, the maximum achievable throughput first rises and then flattens out asymptotically under SRP, while it increases "almost" linearly under SMP or SRMP. We evaluate the effects of several network parameters on this achievable throughput. We also demonstrate how these results can be used by designers to determine the optimal parameters of multi-hop wireless MIMO networks.
