Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques were developed about a decade ago and have, since that time, steadily invaded all aspects of wireless communications. The techniques promise to deliver vast improvements in radio network capacity, throughput and robustness - hugely important issues for wireless operators and manufacturers who are looking at an estimated 600 million mobilebroadband users by 2011 (Cartagena).This book provides a 'one-stop-shop' resource for anyone needing to know what MIMO is and how it will be incorporated into future wireless system design. Readers from academia, wireless operators, phone manufacturers, service providers, even regulators, needing to bring their knowledge up to date will find a comprehensive and up-to-date description ofthe underlying theory along with practical guidance on how the fundamental algorithms can be made to work in tomorrow's communication systems. The first book to show how MIMO principles can be implemented in today's mobile broadband networks and components* Explains and solves some of the practical difficulties that arise in designing and implementing MIMO systems.* Both theory and implementation sections are written in the context of the most recent standards: IEEE 802.11n (WiFi); IEEE 802.16 (WIMAX); 4G networks (3GPP/3GPP2, LTE).
