Smart Antennas—State of the Art
Edited by Thomas Kaiser, André Bourdoux, Holger Boche, Javier Rodríguez Fonollosa, Jørgen Bach Andersen, and Wolfgang Utschick Smart Antennas—State of the Art brings together the broad expertise of 41European experts in smart antennas. They provide a comprehensive review and anextensive analysis of the recent progress and new results generated duringthe last years in almost all fields of smart antennas and MIMO (multiple-inputmultiple-output) transmission. The following represents a summarizedtable of content.
Receiver: space-time processing, antenna combining, reduced rank processing, robust beamforming, subspace methods, synchronization, equalization, multiuser detection, iterative methods
Channel: propagation, measurements and sounding, modelling, channel estimation, direction-of-arrival estimation, subscriber location estimation
Transmitter: space-time block coding, channel side information, unified design of linear transceivers, ill-conditioned channels, MIMO-MAC strategies
Network Theory: channel capacity, network capacity, multihop networks
Technology: antenna design, transceivers, demonstrators and testbeds, future air interfaces
Applications and Systems: 3G system and link level aspects, MIMO HSDPA, MIMO-WLAN/UMTS implementation issues
This book serves as a reference for scientists and engineers who need to beaware of the leading edge research in multiple-antenna communications, an essential technology for emerging broadband wireless systems.
