Multiantenna Wireless Communication Systems

Antenna diversity has become of critical importance in today?s mobile communications systems and this groundbreaking book offers you new approaches to designing transmission strategies for multi-antenna systems. With these novel and practical design strategies you can develop transmission systems that efficiently use available power and bandwidth. The book shows you how to design multi-antenna transceivers in single antenna systems that can reduce transmission power, while ensuring a specified quality level. In addition, you can design wireless networks that have a prescribed degree and probability of connectivity and fault tolerance. Moreover, you find detailed coverage of cutting-edge MIMO technology and learn how to combine space-time coding with CDMA or multicarrier transmission systems to design broadband wireless communication networks. This trail-blazing guide explores such unconventional design methodologies as game theory, convex optimization, and random graphs to give you powerful tools in designing self-organizing networks. The book is also filled with detailed information about the physical layer in 3G networks and analysis of measurements taken from 3G systems operating in urban settings.
