Multiple Antenna Communication Systems

The unification of connectivity and mobility requiresto transmit real-time multimedia data reliably withhigh speed and low latency. This demands newapproaches to the design and analysis of wirelessnetworks. In this context multiple antennaarchitectures are a promising solution which providewireless systems with a high degree of functionalityadaptability capacity and robustness. Howeverefficient use of these systems is possible only bysolving a number of critical problems.In this manuscript we focus on coding performanceand capacity analysis of multiple antenna systems.Knowledge in these areas provides us with guidelinesinto analysis and design of systems reveals inherentlimitations pinpoints problems and opportunities forimprovement and also allows for rigorous argumentand justification of observations. In this regardperformance limitsand error bounds for space-time codes are discussedalong with guidelines for systematic design ofspace-time codes in the presence of the channelcorrelation profile. Moreover a unified approach tothe capacity analysis of multiple antenna channels ispresented.
