Employing multiple transmit and receive antennas, namely using multi-input multi-output
(MIMO) systems, has proven to be a major breakthrough in providing reliable wireless
communication links. Since their invention in the mid-1990s, transmit diversity, achieved
through space-time coding, and spatia ...
Today’s wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the
conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access
in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing.
New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating
thi ...
Mobile communication has gained significant importance in today’s society. As
of 2010, the number of mobile phone subscribers has surpassed 5 billion [ABI10],
and the global annual mobile revenue is soon expected to top $1 trillion [Inf10].
While these numbers appear promising for mobile operators ...
The writing of this book was prompted by two main developments in wireless
communications in the past decade. First is the huge surge of research activities in
physical-layer wireless communication theory. While this has been a subject of study
since the 60’s, recent developments in the field, such ...
In this book, we study the interference cancellation and detection problem in
multiantenna multi-user scenario using precoders. The goal is to utilize multiple
antennas to cancel the interference without sacrificing the diversity or the com-
plexity of the system.
LTE-Advanced becomes a truly global standard for 4G cellular communications.
Relay, as one of the key technologies of LTE-Advanced, can significantly extend
the coverage, and improve the system throughput. LTE-A standards and tech-
nologies were described in several recent books where the limited pa ...
When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been
working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for ...

The family of recent wireless standards included the optional employment of Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output(MIMO)techniques.This was motivatedby the observationaccordingto the
classic Shannon–Hartley law that the achievable channel capacity increases logarithmically
with the transmit power. In contr ...
