> Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) architectures enable
> powerful techniques for improving the capacity of wireless
> communication systems, especially in rich multipath environments.
> In particular, it is now well known that in such rich scattering
> environments, the attainable capacity of MIMO links increases
> approximately linearly with the minimum of the number of antennas
> at the transmitter and the receiver. These potentially significant
> capacity improvements of MIMO systems become even more desirable
> as the next generation wireless communication systems (such as 3G,
> wireless LANs and beyond), create demands for higher data rates
> for increasing user populations. Although a considerable amount of
> progress has been made on MIMO techniques over the past decade,
> many technical challenges remain before the potential capacity
> gains can be realized in practical systems. These challenges
> include some of the most intriguing problems in wireless
> communications and signal processing, such as space-time coding
> and decoding, optimal multiple access techniques for systems
> equipped with multiple antennas, multiuser detection, and adaptive
> space-time beamforming. New challenges also emerge within some
> classical signal processing problems, such as MIMO channel
> characterization, estimation and equalization. Meanwhile, the
> associated practical implementation issues of MIMO systems, such
> as receiver complexity, power dissipation, cost, as well as robust
> operation, are critical in making MIMO transceivers viable.
> Further, system-level performance characterization and
> optimization of MIMO systems, taking into account undesired signal
> interference, remains a largely unexplored topic. Finally, the
> desired re-configurable operation of MIMO transceivers across a
> wide range of channel, antenna, and interference parameters
> remains yet another important challenge in designing MIMO systems.
>
> The aim of this special issue is to showcase recent research in
> both MIMO communications and MIMO signal processing together in
> the same forum, in order to present a range of perspectives and
> innovative results with potential to enable practical MIMO
> systems. Prospective papers should be unpublished and present
> novel, fundamental research offering innovative contributions
> either from a methodological or an applications point of view.
> Original research papers are solicited from the following list of
> topics covering current broad research thrusts. The list is not
> necessarily exhaustive, as quality works addressing other related
> issues are also welcome.
