Spatial streaming is primarily observed in wireless communications where multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)

is being used. When wireless signals are being transmitted or received simultaneously in a MIMO environment, the signals being transmitted by the various antennae are multiplexed by using different spaces within the same spectral channel. These

spaces are known as spatial streams.
