Ather Gattami: MIMO Communications in Wireless Networks

In this talk, we will give an overview of important communications problems that appear in various engineering fields such as communications theory, control theory, and information theory. We will show by some examples that these problems are very closely related. In particular, we will discuss MIMO coding, its advantages, and fundamentals of the current state of the art. We will revisit linear optimal MIMO design and introduce new paradigms that have potential for design improvements. Finally, we will discuss future research in distributed communication algorithms.
