Description

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (Massive MIMO) is the latest technology that will improve the speed and throughput of wireless communication systems for years to come. Whilst there may be some debate over the origins of the term Massive MIMO and what it precisely means, this book describes in detail how the research conducted in the past decades lead to a scalable multiantenna technology that offers great throughput and energy efficiency under practical conditions.

Written for students, practicing engineers and researchers who want to learn the conceptual and analytical foundations of Massive MIMO, in terms of spectral, energy, and/or hardware efficiency, as well as channel estimation and practical considerations, it provides a clear and tutorial like exposition of all the major topics. It also connects the dots of the research literature covering numerous topics not easily found therein.

Massive MIMO Networks is the first book on the subject to cover the spatial channel correlation and consider rigorous signal processing design essential for the complete understanding by its target audience.
