Multiple antenna (MIMO) techniques are an essential component of
any contemporary wireless communication system because they can
significantly improve the performance over conventional
single-antenna links. While MIMO techniques are relatively well
understood at the link level, the interaction of multiple MIMO
links and their impact on performance at the system level
necessitate fundamentally new investigations. We propose a book
that investigates the theoretical foundations of MIMO networks
consisting of multiple simultaneous MIMO links and applies these
principles in the design of next-generation wireless networks.
About ten years ago, the information theoretic foundations of
MIMO techniques were developed and showed the promise of using
multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver of a
wireless link. An enormous amount of research ensued to develop
practical techniques for achieving these promised gains. Within the
last few years, the information theory community has again made
significant breakthroughs, this time in the understanding of
multiuser MIMO systems. Currently in industry, new wideband
wireless standards, including EV-DO Rev C, UMTS LTE, and WiMax, are
under development to meet the insatiable demands for high-rate,
ubiquitous wireless services. For the first time, and for all of
these standards, MIMO technology will play an integral role in
meeting the aggressive performance requirements for increased data
rates, decreased latency, and improved coverage.
Motivated by the confluence of these two eventsa "the emergence
of multiuser MIMO theory and the development of commercial
MIMO-based systemsa "we propose to connect the two worlds with a
bookthat combines theory and practice. This book would provide a
systematic survey of MIMO systems, starting with a review of MIMO
link-level techniques and conventional single-antenna system-level
techniques, summarizing the latest results in multiuser MIMO
systems and developments in cross-layer techniques, and applying
these techniques to the analysis and design of both current and
future packet-based wireless networks. In addition to providing
theoretical results, the book would serve as a reference for
practicing communication engineers by providing useful descriptions
of spatial channel models and system simulation methodologies for
MIMO networks
