This book is about multipoint cooperative communication, a key technology to
overcome the long-standing problem of limited transmission rate caused by inter-
point interference. However, the multipoint cooperative communication is not an
isolated technology. Instead, it covers a vast range of resear ...
The family of recent wireless standards included the optional employment of MIMO tyechniques.
This was motivated by the observation according to the classic Shannon-Hartley law the achiev-
able channel capacity increases logarithmically with the transmit power. By contrast, the MIMO
capacity increas ...

Rapid growth of wireless communication services in recent decades has created
a huge demand of radio spectrum. Spectrum scarcity and utilization inefficiency
limit the development of wireless networks. Cognitive radio is a promising tech-
nology that allows secondary users to reuse the underutilized ...
Since the advent of optical communications, a great technological effort has
been devoted to the exploitation of the huge bandwidth of optical fibers. Start-
ing from a few Mb/s single channel systems, a fast and constant technological
development has led to the actual 10 Gb/s per channel dense wave ...
The ever-increasing demand for private and sensitive data transmission over wireless net-
works has made security a crucial concern in the current and future large-scale, dynamic,
and heterogeneous wireless communication systems. To address this challenge, computer
scientists and engineers have trie ...
The purpose of this book is to introduce the concept of the Multiple Input Multiple Output
(MIMO) radio channel, which is an intelligent communication method based upon using
multiple antennas. The book opens by explaining MIMO in layman’s terms to help stu-
dents and people in industry working in ...
This book is a result of the recent rapid advances in two related technologies: com-
munications and computers. Over the past few decades, communication systems
have increased in complexity to the point where system design and performance
analysis can no longer be conducted without a significant lev ...
Radio propagation measurements and channel modelling continue to be of fundamental importance
to radio system design. As new technology enables dynamic spectrum access and higher data rates,
radio propagation effects such as shadowing, the presence of multipath and frequency dispersion
are the limit ...
In this thesis several asp ects of space-time pro cessing and equalization for wire-
less communications are treated. We discuss several di?erent metho ds of improv-
ing estimates of space-time channels, such as temp oral parametrization, spatial
parametrization, reduced rank channel estimation, b o ...
