Applicability of MIMO to satellite communications

Applicability of MIMO to satellite communications

This paper presents achievements of an on-going activity where the applicability of MIMO to satellite communications with Digital Video Broadcasting – Satellite services to Handhelds as the key application is studied. The potential satellite and hybrid satellite-terrestrial MIMO scenarios are described, and the applicable MIMO schemes for each scenario are selected. The performance of the MIMO ...

MIMO Channel Models for Satellite Communications

In recent years considerable attention has been drawn to the systems with multiple element transmitter and receiver arrays. It has been demonstrated both in theory and practice that multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems offer the promise of increased capacity, high spectral efficiency and high gains by exploiting space-time processing techniques in particular space-time coding (STC) tec...

Satellite Communications

We are delighted to bring to you this special issue on satellite communications, which we have prepared as part of the spreading of excellence remit of the satellite communications network of excellence (SatNEx). The SatNEx project, which began in 2004, is funded for five years under the Euro-pean Union's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) Information Society Technologies (IST) Thematic Area. Led ...

MIMO Wireless Communications

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a breakthrough in the design of wireless communication systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards. Exploiting multi-path scattering, MIMO techniques deliver significant performance enhancements in terms of data transmission rate and interference reduction. This book is a detailed introduction to the analysis and...
