Space–Time Coding for Broadband Wireless Communications

The state of the art in space–time code design This cutting–edge text presents the state of the art in space–time (ST) coded multi–antenna systems operating over broadband wireless mobile channels, including an analysis of the most recent research findings. Specifically, the authors focus on the algorithms and performance analysis of ST coded systems at the physical layer. This text is a complement to previously published works covering ST coded multi–antenna systems and offers several unique features and benefits: Systematic coverage of one of the most promising techniques that will support the next generation of broadband multimedia services Unified and comprehensive exposition on the design of ST codes, which places all the latest research in context Thorough designs of ST codes for the gamut of frequency–selective, time–selective, and doubly–selective MIMO channels that are encountered with broadband wireless mobile links, in addition to ST...
