Features: This book introduces the topic of space-time coding and its applications in wireless communication systems. With the integration of the Internet and multimedia applications in next-generation wireless communications, the demand for broadband high-speed data communication services is continuously growing. The basis of space-time coding is to introduce joint correlation in both the spatial domain and the temporal domain for transmitted signals. This book starts with the information capacity limits and channel models of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, provides an overall introduction to coding design criteria and major space-time coding techniques, and actively incorporates related knowledge. The content of the book is presented from simple to complex, making it suitable for graduate students, engineers, and researchers in the field of wireless communication engineering and related disciplines.
