The demand for mobile communication systems with high data rates has dramatically increased in recent years. New methods are necessary in order to satisfy this huge communications demand, exploiting the limited resources such as bandwidth and power as efficient as possible. MIMO systems with multiple antenna elements at both link ends are an efficient solution for future wireless communications systems as they provide high data rates by exploiting the spatial domain under the constraints of limited bandwidth and transmit power. "Space-Time Block Coding for Multiple Antenna Systems" is devoted to space-time coding, a MIMO transmit strategy which exploits transmit diversity and high reliability systems. The concept of space- time coding is explained in a systematic way including simulation examples. The book includes algorithm design and detailed performance study of space-time codes for multiple-antenna systems with and without channel state information at the transmitter. This valuable resource will appeal to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers and engineers involved in design and implementation of STC for MIMO systems.
