MIMO-OFDM for LTE, WiFi and WiMAX

<i>MIMO-OFDM for LTE, WIFI and WIMAX: Coherent versus Non-Coherent and Cooperative</i> <i>Turbo-Transceivers</i> 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. <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <ul> <li>Discusses many state-of-the-art topics important to today’s wireless communications engineers.</li> <li>Includes numerous complete system design examples for the industrial practitioner.</li> <li>Offers a detailed portrayal of sphere detection.</li> <li>Based on over twenty years of research into OFDM in the context of various applications, subsequently presenting comprehensive bibliographies.</li> </ul>
