Driven by the desire to boost the quality of service of wirelesssystems closer to that afforded by wireline systems, space-timeprocessing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wirelesscommunications research has drawn remarkable interest in recentyears. Exciting theoretical advances have been complemented byrapid transition of research results to industry products andservices, thus creating a vibrant new area.
Space-time processing is a broad area, owing in part to theunderlying convergence of information theory, communications andsignal processing research that brought it to fruition. This bookpresents a balanced and timely introduction to space-timeprocessing for MIMO communications, including highlights ofemerging trends, such as spatial multiplexing and joint transceiveroptimization.
* Includes detailed coverage of wireless channel sounding, modelling, characterization and model validation.
* Provides state-of-the-art research results on space-timecoding, including comprehensive tutorial coverage of orthogonalspace-time block codes.
* Discusses important recent developments in spatialmultiplexing, transmit beam-forming, pre-coding and jointtransceiver design for the multi-user MIMO downlink using full orpartial CSI.
* Illustrates all theory with numerous examples gleaned fromcutting-edge research from around the globe.
This valuable resource will appeal to engineers, developers andconsultants involved in the design and implementation of space-timeprocessing for MIMO communications. Its accessible format, amplyillustrated with real world case studies, contains relevant, detailed advice for postgraduate students and researchersspecializing in this field.
