Intelligent transceiver designs for MIMO-OFDM systems
EF 2007-08
Résumé
Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) technology iswidely accepted as the air-interface technology of the future. It is seen as the enabler of high data-rate,high-quality and high-mobility wireless communications meeting the ever increasing demand for ubiquity ofcommunication services. MIMO-OFDM technology is already part of major standards such as the IEEE 802.16(WiMAX) family of standards for wireless metropolitan area networks and the IEEE 802.11n draft standard forwireless local area networks. Furthermore, the ongoing industry-driven standardization efforts unequivocallyshow that the wireless industry is migrating to MIMO-OFDM radio technology also for the next generation ofmobile cellular systems. While MIMO-OFDM technology has matured sufficiently to be ready for use, there are numerous open research problems which need to be solved before the full potential of MIMO-OFDM can be unleashed. Thisresearch project is dedicated to achieve substantial progress with regards to some of the main challengesidentified in the research and industry community. It particularly addresses challenges at the physical (PHY)and medium access control (MAC) layer of MIMO-OFDM, which are regarded as the 'bottleneck' ofMIMO-OFDM communication systems. The research proposed in this project will lead to the development of (1) enhanced error-correction coding and (2) adaptive modulation schemes, and (3) new interference mitigation and (4) service differentiation methods for MIMO-OFDM transceivers, which intelligently utilize the MIMO-OFDM specific features. The improved designs will advance the frontier of MIMO-OFDM technology closer to its actual potentials in terms of datarate performance, communication reliability, and user and service flexibility. The transfer of the newlydeveloped technology to the industrial partners in this project will contribute to the consolidation of the leadingrole of Canadian companies in the important information and communication technology sector.
