The latest advanced technologies of channel adaptation techniques for wireless communication systems with multiple antennas thoroughly investigated. The book is divided into three parts, first giving the reader a good foundation in underlying theory, then exploring applications and advanced topics: * Part 1 discusses the theoretical aspects of channel adaptation in wireless communication system for multi-user point-to-point and with several antennas * Part 2 focuses on the application of channel-adaptive technologies in practical systems such as UMTS * Section 3 explore topics such as multi-user scheduling for wideband systems, combined queuing theory and information theory, and ad hoc routing Using hands-on, practical approach, Channel Adaptive Technologies and Cross Layer Design of Wireless Systems with Multiple Antennas thorough consideration include detailed design that helps readers understand how to apply theory to real-world systems. Figures and tables are also used extensively to help readers visualize complex theory and systems. Combining theory, design, and applications into one integrated approach, this is an excellent reference for advanced communications theory courses.
