Scope

The MIMO Systems symposium will focus on multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication technologies and related aspects. Original papers are solicited, describing state-of-the-art research and development covering, but not limited to, the following topics:

MIMO capacity, achievable rate, and diversity-multiplexing tradeoffs

MIMO coding and modulation, spatial multiplexing, and waveform design

MIMO-OFDM, space-frequency coding, and space-time-frequency coding

Distributed coding and joint source-channel coding

Turbo coding and decoding, iterative and cooperative decoding

Multiple access and multi-user MIMO

MIMO channel propagation, modeling, and characterization

MIMO broadcast, multiple access, and interference channels

Adaptive techniques for time-varying MIMO channels

Optimal and joint transceiver design for MIMO systems

MIMO with feedback, transmit beam-forming, and antenna selection

Channel impact on MIMO system design and system performance

MIMO scheduling, and joint physical-MAC layer design

Relay diversity, cooperative coding, and networking

MIMO applications
