Space Time Coding for Broadband Wireless Communications Comes to the Fore

Posted on: Wednesday, 9 May 2007, 09:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c56125) has announced the addition of Space-Time Coding for Broadband Wireless Communications to their offering.

The number of subscribers to wireless communications services is increasing daily and the amount of data being transmitted is likewise accelerating, particularly with the spread of wireless multimedia applications. These trends put huge stress on the available radio spectrum, and a variety of techniques to maximize bandwidth efficiency are being investigated. In the area of broadband wireless communications, the most promising technique is space-time coding. For that reason, there is a huge amount of interest in this technique in industry, and the topic is one of the hottest in communications. This book will be the first to give comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles and key design considerations of space-time codes. This blend of theory and practice will make it of great interest to graduate students and practitioners alike. Giannakis is a Fellow of the IEEE and is well known for his work in signal processing and its applications to communications.
