MIMO Processing for 4G and Beyond: Fundamentals and Evolution Mario Marques Da Silva 1st edition

Brief Description: "Preface: Evolution of Wireless Systems--The Roots of MIMO and its Future In the transmission of information over a wireless channel the channel is modeled classically as a linear system black box with an input and output, that is, a single input and a single output (SISO). The input is the connection point from the power amplifier of the transmitter to the transmitting antenna terminal and the output is the connection point from the receiving antenna terminal to the radio frequency (RF) front-end filter of the receiver. The antennas are modeled as a structure that radiates EM waves that propagate through space. The simplest such antenna structure is a radiating electric dipole element. With the presence of multipath propagation in the channel it becomes evident that the electric field at the receiver location undergoes variations in amplitude over distances in space in the order of a wavelength. As a result, variations of the classical wireless channel were employed, where multiple receiving antenna elements were introduced, or in other words, antenna structures with multiple interconnection points to the receiver. These antennas were designed to achieve the so-called receiver diversity. The channel could then be modeled as having a single input and multiple outputs, or in the current terminology SIMO (single input multiple output). Classical receiver techniques to process the multiple outputs were referred to as combining techniques"--Biographical Note: Mario Marques da Silva is an associate professor at the Universidade Autonoma de Lisboa, and a researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes in Lisbon, Portugal. He received his BSc in electrical engineering in 1992, and MSc and PhD in telecommunications/electrical engineering in 1999 and 2005, respectively, both from Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon. Between 2005 and 2008, he was with NATO Air Command Control & Management Agency (NACMA) in Brussels (Belgium), where he managed the deployable communications of the new Air Command and Control System Program. He has been involved in several telecommunications projects. His research interests include networking and mobile communications, namely, block transmission techniques (OFDM, SC-FDE), interference cancellation, space time coding, MIMO systems, smart and adaptive antennas, channel estimation, software defined radio, IP technologies, and network security. Mario Marques da Silva is also a Cisco certified CCNA instructor. He has authored books such as "Multimedia Communications and Networking "(CRC Press), "Transmission Techniques for Emergent Multicast and Broadcast Systems "(CRC Press), and "Transmission Techniques for 4G Systems "(CRC Press), as well as authored several dozens of journal and conference papers. He is a member of IEEE and AFCEA, as well as reviewer for a number of international scientific IEEE journals and conferences. Finally, he has chaired many conference sessions and has been serving in the organizing committee of relevant EURASIP and IEEE conferences. Francisco A. Monteiro is an assistant professor at ISCTE University Institute of Lisbon and a researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes in Lisbon, Portugal. In the past, he has been a teaching assistant at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon. He obtained his PhD in engineering from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, in 2012, and had previously received both the Licenciatura degree and an MSc in electrical and computer engineering from Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon, in 1999 and 2003, respectively. His research has always been focused on signal processing for wireless communications. He acts as a frequent reviewer for a number of IEEE journals and conferences, and has been serving in the organizing committee of relevant EURASIP and IEEE conferences. In 2008, Dr. Monteiro was a visiting researcher at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Toronto for four months, with scholarships from the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Cambridge Philosophical Society. At Cambridge, he was a member of Fitzwilliam College (where he received a College Senior Scholarship in 2007/2008), and carried out his research in the Digital Technology Group at the Computer Laboratory, while being affiliated with the Department of Engineering. He received the Best Paper Award (Conference Prize) at the European Conference on Wireless Technology 2007 in Munich, Germany. He was also awarded the Young Engineer Best Paper Award at the European Conference on Wireless Technology 2004, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His MSc thesis was awarded 3rd place at the Innovation Young Engineer Competition presented by the Portuguese Engineers Institution in 2002. Dr. Monteiro is a member of several societies of the IEEE, a life member of Fitzwilliam College, a Fellow of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, a junior member of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, and a life member of student societies for the promotion of science and technology (namely, the Trinity Mathematical Society, and the Cambridge University Scientific Society)."Table of Contents: Foreword -- Preface -- Editors -- Contributors -- 1.

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; Multiple-input multiple-output was from the beginning a disruptive idea which opened horizons to up-until-then unimaginable data rates and system capacities in wireless systems. This book offers a fresh look at MIMO signal processing, namely its detection (including in the frequency domain) and precoding. It also looks at its combination with OFDM, UWB and CDMA and the impact at the system-level. MIMO remains a pillar of high-speed systems beyond 4G which incorporate massive MIMO and network coding at the physical layer and these topics are also addressed. The book brings together some highly cited authors from first-class institutions. --; Provided by publisher.; Preface: Evolution of Wireless Systems--The Roots of MIMO and its Future In the transmission of information over a wireless channel the channel is modeled classically as a linear system black box with an input and output, that is, a single input and a single output (SISO).
