One > innovative MIMO application is to support multiuser transmission in > cellular downlink systems that centralizes joint precoding at base stations > and requires no cooperation between mobile devices. This technique is known > as Multiuser MIMO and has attracted extensive research and development in > recent years. > > In next generation communication systems, the design paradigm is shifting > and new system models are emerging where Multiuser MIMO is used as a basic > building block. Among them a system model which received a lot of attention > recently is the multi-cell setup in which multi-cell cooperation is enabled > by exploiting the existing high-rate backhaul links between neighboring > base stations. Another research direction of notable interest is > physical-layer security where investigations on achievable rates of secure > multiuser MIMO transmissions are still in the early stages of development. > For heterogeneous networking that has been attracting a lot of attention > lately, the interference resulting from the coexisting macro and femto > cells can be effectively mitigated using multiuser MIMO techniques. > Furthermore, relay-assisted cooperative multiuser MIMO is also an > interesting direction where exciting developments are happening. The > objective of this book is to collate the recent trends in system designs > which stem from the lessons learnt in the multiuser MIMO research over the > last decade. > > *Topics of interest: > * > Following is the non-exhaustive list of topics of interest > > - Information-theoretic aspects > > - Beamforming design > > - Transceiver methods > > - User Scheduling > > - Limited Feedback techniques > > - Low complexity codebook design > > - Distributed and decentralized optimization and resource allocation > > - Coordinated interference management > > - Energy efficient algorithms > > - Channel modeling and measurements > > - Experimental and protoyping issues > > > *Important Dates > * > Chapter proposal submission: 16 April 2012 > > Notification of chapter review results: 14 May 2012 > > Final chapter submission: 06 July 2012 > > > *Editors: > * > Adeel Razi, NED University, Pakistan > [email protected] > > Kaibin Huang, Yonsei University, Korea > [email protected] > > Chan-Byoung Chae, Yonsei University, Korea > [email protected] > > *Requests for additional information should be addressed to the editors.* > > _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
