Special Issue on Signal Processing for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)Wireless Communications Systems
November 2003
|
Transmit and receive antenna arrays used to form multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels have recently created great
interest due to the linear increase in capacity with the number of antennas that they can provide. To achieve the great potential in
practical systems requires yet-to-be-developed signal processing solutions for efficient signaling, coding, and reception. Fundamental
innovations are needed on the theory of MIMO systems, their performance and implementation, and in the careful control
of their complexity which can easily become unmanageable.
This Call for Papers is directed at researchers focusing on these formidable problems in the hope of speeding up progress by
encouraging research which should lead to significant scientific breakthroughs. High-quality innovative research papers and review
papers in the broad signal processing areas described above are sought |
