We dedicate this monograph to the numerous contributors to this field, many of whom are listed in the Author Index.
The MIMO capacity theoretically increases linearly with the number of transmit antennas, provided that the number of receive antennas is equal to the number of transmit antennas. With the further proviso that the total transmit power is increased proportionately to the number of transmit antennas, a linear capacity increase is achieved on increasing the transmit power. However, under realistic conditions the theoretical MIMO-OFDM performance erodes, hence, to circumvent this degradation, our monograph is dedicated to the design of practical coherent, non-coherent and cooperative MIMO-OFDM turbo-transceivers…
