*Objectives:
*The invention of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology has
fundamentally changed the design principles of wireless communication
system and led to dramatic increase on the system throughput. One
innovative MIMO application is to support multiuser transmission in
cellular downlink systems that centralizes joint precoding at base stations
and requires no cooperation between mobile devices. This technique is known
as Multiuser MIMO and has attracted extensive research and development in
recent years.
In next generation communication systems, the design paradigm is shifting
and new system models are emerging where Multiuser MIMO is used as a basic
building block. Among them a system model which received a lot of attention
recently is the multi-cell setup in which multi-cell cooperation is enabled
by exploiting the existing high-rate backhaul links between neighboring
base stations. Another research direction of notable interest is
physical-layer security where investigations on achievable rates of secure
multiuser MIMO transmissions are still in the early stages of development.
For heterogeneous networking that has been attracting a lot of attention
lately, the interference resulting from the coexisting macro and femto
cells can be effectively mitigated using multiuser MIMO techniques.
Furthermore, relay-assisted cooperative multiuser MIMO is also an
interesting direction where exciting developments are happening. The
objective of this book is to collate the recent trends in system designs
which stem from the lessons learnt in the multiuser MIMO research over the
last decade.
