High-speed wireless communication systems and networks, which offer various services and multimedia contents, constitute an important part of the Canadian "high-tech" industry. Multi-antenna technology (MIMO), which is widely considered to be a major break-through in wireless communications, can be used to significantly improve the performance of such systems and networks. This project will develop new techniques to evaluate performance and to design such systems and networks. Both analytical and numerical methods, which are based on powerful principles of the convex optimization theory, will be used. The available results for single-user systems will be extended to multi-user (network) context, including resource allocation, quality-of-service and other issues at the physical and MAC layers. Practical implementation issues will also be considered.
