In this paper we review the most peculiar and interesting information-theoretic and communications features of fading channels. We first describe the statistical models of fading channels which are frequently used in the analysis and design of communication systems. Next, we focus

in frequency selective fading environments. In this paper, we propose a novel detection scheme for MIMO based transmission that combines the adaptive MMSE detection scheme with a priori information and the serial interference cancelation (SIC) in the spatial domain. Principle is to include adaptive MMSE

) with different quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, where the adopted scheduling scheme controls the selection of UEs for service provision and has an impact on the system performance. In this paper, two basic scheduling rules are described, which are combined with and without successive interference

, but usually neglecting various practical issues connected to network MIMO. In this paper, we analyse the impact of a constrained backhaul infrastructure and imperfect channel knowledge on uplink network MIMO from an information theoretical point of view. Especially the latter aspect leads to the fact

generalization of several previously established results. We show that in the downlink relay system, signal-to-interference-noise ratios (SINRs) identical to those in the uplink relay system, and vice versa, can be achieved by two approaches. First, with the same total network transmission power constraint, one

MIMO-OFDM receivers with horizontal encoding are con-sidered in this paper. The successive interference cancella-tion (SIC) algorithm is compared to the K-best list sphere detector (LSD). The SIC and K-best LSD receivers are de-signed for a 2 × 2 antenna system with quadrature phase shift keying

Modern systems of Wireless Communications have limited capacity and processing techniques are required more sophisticated in order to improve system performance. One of the techniques in vogue is the application of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), known to improve the channel capacity

Abstract – A collision model is proposed for ns2 simulations of a multi-hop ad-hoc network with multi-antenna nodes. We analyze the network throughput performance of linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) and successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver-processing techniques for the flat
