Advanced MIMO Systems

The book with 10 chapters provides the first comprehensive treatment of a series of important topics in the fields of single-user point-to-point MIMO systems. Each chapter uses well-known models and schemes to illustrate and review the main techniques in either base-band signal processing aspect or application. Concrete analyses and performance curves for some important instances are provided to claim the benefits of the techniques. They are not only quite helpful for readers to have a overall understanding about the MIMO system architectures based on various coding schemes but also very useful for readers to have deep insights about the MIMO systems in handling diversity, multiplexing, detection, channel estimation, channel capacity, synchronization, antenna selection, successive interference cancellation, polarization, cooperation, medium access control, and etc. I believe that this book is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers and practitioners, and moreover, I am sure that the book is a good starting point for readers to get into the latest and fast developing areas of multiple-user MIMO systems. -----------------Said Prof. Wangyang Dai from Nanjing University
