MIMO Wireless Networks

This book is unique in presenting channels, techniques and standards for the next generation of MIMO wireless networks. Through a unified framework, it emphasizes how propagation mechanisms impact the system performance under realistic power constraints. Combining a solid mathematical analysis with a physical and intuitive approach to space-time signal processing, the book progressively derives innovative designs for space-time coding and precoding as well as multi-user and multi-cell techniques, taking into consideration that MIMO channels are often far from ideal.Reflecting developments since the first edition was published, this book has been thoroughly revised, and now includes new sections and five new chapters, respectively dealing with receiver design, multi-user MIMO, multi-cell MIMO, MIMO implementation in standards, and MIMO system-level evaluation.

Klappentext
This book is unique in bridging the gap between MIMO radio propagation and signal processing techniques and presenting robust MIMO network designs for real-world wireless channels. Through a unified framework, it emphasizes how propagation mechanisms impact the MIMO system performance under realistic power constraints. Combining a solid mathematical analysis with a physical and intuitive approach, the book progressively derives innovative designs, taking into consideration that MIMO channels are often far from ideal. Reflecting developments since the first edition was published, the book has been updated and now includes several new chapters covering Multi-user MIMO, Multi-Cell MIMO, Receiver Design, MIMO in 3GPP and WiMAX and realistic system level evaluations of MIMO network performance.

Zusammenfassung
Combines a mathematical analysis with a physical and intuitive approach to space-time signal processing, this book derives designs for space-time coding and precoding as well as multi-user and multi-cell techniques, taking into consideration that MIMO channels are often far from ideal.
