MIMO Communications in Wireless Networks

Ather Gattami, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)

Abstract:

In this talk, we will give an overview of important communications problems that appear 
in various engineering fields such as communications theory, control theory, and information 
theory. We will show by some examples that these problems are very closely related. 
In particular, we will discuss MIMO coding, its advantages, and fundamentals of the current 
state of the art. We will revisit linear optimal MIMO design and introduce new paradigms that 
have potential for design improvements. Finally, we will discuss future research in distributed 
communication algorithms.
