EE 381V Advanced Wireless: Space-Time Communication
Fall 2007
Space is truly the final frontier in wireless communication systems. When leveraged correctly, the use of multiple antennas at the transmitter and / or the receiver, create a propagation channel with additional spatial degrees of freedom that can be exploited to improve the quality, capacity, and coverage - problems faced by all wireless systems. In this class you will learn the fundamentals of space-time communication from the perspective of signal processing and communication theory. The emphasis will be on MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication systems where antenna arrays are used at both transmitter and receiver. The class covers the fundamentals as well as a several advanced topics and an overview of MIMO related standards.
Advanced Wireless: Space-Time Communication deals broadly with MIMO communication. Topics covered include:
- MIMO signal models and equalization
- MIMO channel models including Rayleigh, Ricean, correlated, and models from different standards
- Capacity of MIMO channels with different degrees of channel state information
- Average probability of error and diversity
- Spatial multiplexing with linear and nonlinear receivers
- Precoding and multi-mode precoding for spatial multiplexing
- Limited feedback precoding and codebook design
- Space-time block codes including orthogonal, quasi-orthogonal, and rate-1
- Multiuser MIMO communication
- Overview of MIMO information theory
- Practical Multiuser MIMO methods with linear and nonlinear processing
- Multiuser limited feedback
- Overview and application of MIMO to IEEE 802.11n
- Overview and application of MIMO to IEEE 816.ee / WiMax
- Overview and application of MIMO to 3GPP Long Term Evolution
Advanced Wireless: Space-Time Wireless is an advanced graduate course that will cover the issues most pertinent to the design and analysis of space-time wireless communication systems.
The Fall 2007 class meets Monday and Wednesday 3:30-5:00pm in ENS 126.
