Advances in MIMO Techniques for Mobile Communications—A Survey <s> The MU-MIMO Uplink <s> Wireless networks are under constant pressure to provide ever-higher data rates to increasing numbers of users with greater reliability. This book is an accessible introduction to every fundamental aspect of space-time wireless communications. Space-time processing technology is a powerful tool for improving system performance that already features in the UMTS and CDMA2000 mobile standards. The ideal volume for graduate students and professionals, it features homework problems and other supporting material on a companion website. <s> BIB001 </s> Advances in MIMO Techniques for Mobile Communications—A Survey <s> The MU-MIMO Uplink <s> Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication techniques have been an important area of focus for next-generation wireless systems because of their potential for high capacity, increased diversity, and interference suppression. For applications such as wireless LANs and cellular telephony, MIMO systems will likely be deployed in environments where a single base must communicate with many users simultaneously. As a result, the study of multi-user MIMO systems has emerged recently as an important research topic. Such systems have the potential to combine the high capacity achievable with MIMO processing with the benefits of space-division multiple access. In this article we review several algorithms that have been proposed with this goal in mind. We describe two classes of solutions. The first uses a signal processing approach with various types of transmitter beamforming. The second uses "dirty paper" coding to overcome the interference a user sees from signals intended for other users. We conclude by describing future areas of research in multi-user MIMO communications. <s> BIB002
The MU-MIMO uplink channel is a MIMO multiple access channel (MIMO-MAC) BIB001 where the users simultaneously transmit data over the same frequency channel to the BS equipped with multiple antennas. The BS must separate the received user signals by means of array processing, multiuser detection (MUD), or some other method BIB002 . Figure 26 shows various linear and nonlinear MUD schemes for MIMO-OFDM systems, some of which are discussed in the later sections.
