Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Introduction To Space-Time Wireless Communications by Arogyaswami Paulraj , Rohit Nabar , Dhananjay Gore
Wireless networks are under constant pressure to provide ever higher data rates to increasing numbers of users with greater reliability. Spacetime processing technology which uses multiple antennas and sophisticated signal processing techniques is a powerful new tool for improving system performance. The technology already features in the UMTS and CDMA2000 mobile standards. This book is an accessible introduction to the theory of spacetime wireless communications. The authors discuss the basics of spacetime propagation spacetime channels channel capacity spatial diversity and spacetime coding. They highlight important tradeoffs in the design of practical systems and cover advanced topics such as spacetime OFDM and spreadspectrum modulation cochannel interference cancellation and multiuser MIMO. The book is an ideal introduction to this rapidly growing field for graduate students taking courses on wireless communications and for practitioners in the wireless industry. Homework problems and other supporting material are available on a companion website.
