MIMO-OFDM for LTE, WIFI and WIMAX: Coherent versus Non-Coherent and
Cooperative Turbo-Transceivers provides an up-to-date portrayal of
wireless transmission based on OFDM techniques augmented with Space-Time
Block Codes (STBCs) and Spatial-Division Multiple Access (SDMA). The
volume also offers an in-depth treatment of cutting-edge Cooperative
Communications.
This monograph collates the latest techniques in a number of specific
design areas of turbo-detected MIMO-OFDM wireless systems. As a result a
wide range of topical subjects are examined, including channel coding
and multiuser detection (MUD), with a special emphasis on optimum
maximum-likelihood (ML) MUDs, reduced-complexity genetic algorithm aided
near-ML MUDs and sphere detection. The benefits of spreading codes as
well as joint iterative channel and data estimation are only a few of
the radical new features of the book.
Also considered are the benefits of turbo and LDPC channel coding, the
entire suite of known joint coding and modulation schemes, space-time
coding as well as SDM/SDMA MIMOs within the context of various
application examples. The book systematically converts the lessons of
Shannon's information theory into design principles applicable to
practical wireless systems; the depth of discussions increases towards
the end of the book.
- Discusses many state-of-the-art topics important to today's wireless
communications engineers.
- Includes numerous complete system design examples for the industrial
practitioner.
- Offers a detailed portrayal of sphere detection.
- Based on over twenty years of research into OFDM in the context of
various applications, subsequently presenting comprehensive
bibliographies.
