Space-time communication is a hot topic in academia and industry, but, current research only appears in journal articles. This comprehensive book provides coverage of cutting-edge research in the field, with an emphasis on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Examples illustrate theory wherever possible, while end-of-chapter problems challenge readers to reinforce their understanding of the subject matter. The book is appropriate as a textbook for graduate courses and also serves as a reference for researchers in academia and industry.

This book presents cutting-edge research in wireless communications, particularly in the fast-growing subject of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. It begins with an introduction, which includes historical notes and a review of turbo-information processing and MIMO wireless communications, and goes on to cover:

* MIMO channel capacity
* BLAST architectures
* Space-time turbo codes and turbo decoding principles
* Turbo-BLAST
* Turbo-MIMO systems

The material is complemented with abundant illustrations and computer experiments that are designed to help readers reinforce their understanding of the underlying subject matter. Space-Time Layered Information Processing for Wireless Communications is an ideal resource for researchers in academia and industry and an excellent textbook for related courses at the graduate level.
