Klappentext Eine vielversprechende Technologie zur Maximierung der Bandbreiteneffizienz in der breitbandigen drahtlosen Kommunikation ist die Raum-Zeit-Kodierung. Theorie und Praxis verbindend, ist dieses Buch die erste umfassende Diskussion von Grundlagen und designorientierten Aspekten von Raum-Zeit-Codes. Single-Carrier und Multi-Carrier-Übertragungen für Einzel- und Mehrnutzerkommunikation werden behandelt. Zusammenfassung The next generation of wireless communications systems will offer practically unlimited mobility and high data-rate services such as streaming video. In order to provide these capabilities, wireless networks will need to have extremely high bandwidth efficiency. One of the most promising techniques for ensuring this efficiency is space-time coding. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface. Acronyms. 1.
