Description

One of the most critical aspects of today’s mobile communications systems is, on one side, the requirement of more and more transmission speed and, on the other side, the scarceness of the available bandwidth. This groundbreaking resource shows you how multiantenna systems can be used to increase transmission speed, without requiring more bandwidth or power. The book provides you with innovative approaches to designing transmission strategies for multi-antenna systems and shows you how to design multi-antenna transceivers in order to get the desired balance between diversity gain, transmission rate, and receiver complexity. In addition, you learn how to design wireless networks that have a prescribed probability of connectivity, exploiting the innovative concept of cooperative communications. 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 puts together unconventional design methodologies such 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.
