Multiantenna capacity: Myths and realities

One of the most promising technologies to resolve the bottlenecks in traffic capacity of future wireless networks is multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications and space-time processing. MIMO wireless technology has progressed from the stage of fundamental research to commercially available products within a decade. With over sixty contributors from the field, this book provides an extensive overview of the state-of-the-art in MIMO communications, ranging from its roots in antenna array processing to advanced cellular communication systems. A balanced treatment of three key areas -information theory, algorithms and systems studies, and implementation issues - has been assembled by four editors with a broad range of academic and industry experience. This comprehensive reference will appeal to practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in wireless communications. • Leading experts in the field provide a broad yet comprehensive overview of wireless communications from its roots in antenna array processing to advanced MIMO communication systems • Covers aspects of MIMO wireless ranging from information-theoretic fundamentals, over propagation theory, signal processing, VLSI implementation to advanced cellular system-level aspects. • Contains over 190 diagrams to aid reader comprehension
