Spatial Multiplexing

Spatial multiplexing is a technology used in wireless communication to increase data capacity. It works by sending multiple data streams simultaneously through different spatial paths or antennas, effectively creating separate "channels" within the same frequency band. This allows more information to be transmitted at once, boosting speeds without requiring additional spectrum. Think of it like multiple lanes on a highway, where each lane carries its own traffic, allowing more cars (data) to travel at the same time. This technique is commonly used in advanced wireless networks like 4G and 5G to improve performance and efficiency.
