Jankiraman Mohinder. Space-time codes and MIMO systems

Artech House, 2004. — 350 p. — ISBN10: 1-58053-865-7; ISBN13: 978-1-58053-865-7.This book is intended to introduce space-time coding and multiantenna systems. MIMO is the technology that is advancing the wireless industry from 3G to 4G systems, and this book is your essential guide to this major development in wireless communications. It takes you step-by-step from the basics of MIMO through various coding techniques, to topics such as multiplexing and packet transmission. Practical examples are emphasized and mathematics is kept to a minimum, so you can quickly and thoroughly understand the essentials of MIMO. The book takes a system’s view of MIMO technology that helps you analyze the benefits and drawbacks of any MIMO system.
You find detailed coverage of a hot new topic not covered in any other book - direct interfacing of a CDMA system with an OFDM system. This hardware approach extends the capabilities of current CDMA systems by exploiting the high-throughput capabilities of OFDM. Coupled with MIMO, this approach delivers a 4G solution that meets the ever-increasing need for higher throughput wireless communication. Space Time Codes and MIMO Systems is the only resource that offers you the practical knowledge needed to work with this powerful combination of cutting-edge wireless technology.
This book is intended for postgraduate students, practicing engineers, and researchers. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with basic digital communications, linear algebra, and probability theory. The teaching effort in this book is aided by a set of accompanying software. This software has been divided into a set of two broad classes—narrowband and wideband. The narrowband software is distributed based on chapters and directly pertains to topics discussed in those chapters. The wideband software is orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based and is included as part of Chapters 7, 8, and 9. The entire coding has been kept simple and sometimes very unprofessional to enable readers to clearly understand the various steps involved in the implementation of the program. The entire coding has been implemented at baseband and the radio frequency (RF) aspects of coding have been avoided for similar reasons. Because the software is basically intended as a ‘‘skeleton,’’ the user is encouraged to modify it in any manner or means by adding to its RF capability and so on to suit one’s convenience. This is an excellent method to learn the subject. The software presupposes a sound understanding of MatLAB and Simulink and has been tested on MatLAB Version 6.0 (with Signal Processing and Communication Toolboxes) and above with the Simulink option with DSP and Communication Blocksets.
