Space-Time Codes and MIMO Systems

MIMOはワイヤレス産業3Gから4Gシステムへと進化させている技術です。本書はワイヤレス通信における主要な進歩に関する必須のガイドブックです。様々なコーディング技術を通してMIMO技術の基礎から、多重化やパケット伝送などのトピックまでをステップ・バイ・ステップで説明しています。実践例に重点を置き、数学的な説明は最小限にとどめているので、MIMOの最も重要な部分についてすばやく理解することができます。MIMO技術のシステム概論について説明しており、MIMOシステムの利点と欠点を分析するのに役立ちます。IEEE802.11aシステムをグラフィカルに図解したプログラムだけでなく、広帯域および狭帯域シミュレーション用のソフトウェアを含むCD-ROMが付属されています。
