Performance analysis and optimization of MIMO systems for wireless communications

提供各种服务和多媒体内容的高速无线通信系统和网络是加拿大高科技产业的重要组成部分。多天线技术(MIMO)被广泛认为是无线通信的重大突破，可以用来显著提高此类系统和网络的性能。该项目将开发新的技术来评估性能并设计这样的系统和网络。将使用基于凸优化理论强大原理的解析和数值方法。单用户系统的现有结果将扩展到多用户(网络)环境，包括物理层和MAC层的资源分配、服务质量和其他问题。还将审议实际执行问题。

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.
