Is deploying MIMO in 3G useful?

Ofcourse.....because MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) provides a way of utilizing the multiple signal paths that exist between a transmitter and receiver in terrestrial communications to significantly improve the data throughput available on a given channel with its defined bandwidth. By using multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver along with some complex digital signal processing, MIMO technology enables the system to set up multiple data streams on the same channel, at the same time, thereby increasing the data capacity (bandwidth) of a channel rather than causing interference

Thanks Akram,

You are totally right, MIMO is an enhanced and good feature,

but for3G have you had any experience for implementing it..?

Is there acceptable amount of handset MIMO capable in3G? surely for LTE it is approved but I really want to know about the the experiences for3G..

Thank you.
