MIMO Wireless Communications

Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a breakthrough in the design of wireless communications systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards. Exploiting multipath scattering, MIMO techniques deliver significant performance enhancements in terms of data transmission rate and interference reduction. This 2007 book is a detailed introduction to the analysis and design of MIMO wireless systems. Beginning with an overview of MIMO technology, the authors then examine the fundamental capacity limits of MIMO systems. Transmitter design, including precoding and space-time coding, is then treated in depth, and the book closes with two chapters devoted to receiver design. Written by a team of leading experts, the book blends theoretical analysis with physical insights, and highlights a range of key design challenges. It can be used as a textbook for advanced courses on wireless communications, and will also appeal to researchers and practitioners working on MIMO wireless systems.

FDMA System with Space–Time Encoded CPM Signals

“…The filters on the transmitter side determine the spectrum of the transmitted signal, so as to make it fit the band of the assigned channel, whereas the filters on the receiver side separate the channels and limit inter-channel interference (ICI). In order to increase the reliability and bit rate of telecommunication systems, the multiantenna MIMO technique (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is used more and more often [5]. The technique involves multiple antennas on the transmitter and receiver sides.…”

“…The technique involves multiple antennas on the transmitter and receiver sides. The advantages of the multiple-antenna solution consist in the benefits of diversification, collective reception and multiplexing [2,5]. Employing the MIMO technique in telecommunication systems allows the use of Space-Time Codes (STC), improving transmission quality [6].…”

“…The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, which is equipped with multiple transmit (TX) and receive (RX) antennas, can meet the growing demand for higher capacity in wireless communication fields [1], [2]. Therefore, it has been widely investigated, and some standardization groups have planned to incorporate it or have already determined to do so [3]- [5].…”

“…The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system [1]- [3] is already the core technology for some standards to achieve such high data speeds [4]. Thus, there are many opportunities to use a time-varying MIMO channel model in performance evaluations of MIMO systems.…”
