Why do TDD bands have an advantage over FDD when it comes to MIMO operation?

The main reason is that, as we already know, different frequencies encounter different channel effects . Thus, as TDD fosters uplink/downlonk on the same frequency band, the result is better channel estimation as compared to FDD. FDD in contrast, utilizes different frequencies for each transmissiom direction.
