Multiantenna Wireless Communication Systems

by Sergio Barbarossa

Overview

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.
