MIMO communication for cellular networks

As the theoretical foundations of multiple-antenna (MIMO) techniques evolve and these techniques become essential for providing high data rates in wireless systems, there is a growing need to better understand the performance limits of MIMO in practical networks. To address this need, MIMO Communication for Cellular Networks presents a systematic description of MIMO technology classes and a framework for MIMO system design that accounts for the essential physical-layer features of practical cellular networks. Unlike books that focus on the theoretical performance of abstract MIMO channels, thi.
