Design issues for mimo-ofdm wireless communication systems
Abstract : In the mobile radio environment, signals are usually impaired by fading and multipath delay spread phenomenon. In such channel, severe fading of the signal amplitude and Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) lead to unacceptable degradation of the system error performance. It is expected that Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is capable of providing very high data rate with strong robustness of multipath delay spread, which make that ISI is no longer a problem.
