EUSIPCO 2006 Special Session on Multiuser MIMO Communications

EUSIPCO devotes a two-part special session to "Multiuser MIMO Communications". These two session give an overview over recent results obtained by MASCOT researchers and several other research groups in the same field.

The special session is held on Friday September 08, 2007.

The detailed program can be found here:

• Special Session Multiuser MIMO Communications  I (Sala Verde, 08:40-11:00)
  

• Special Session Multiuser MIMO Communications II (Sala Verde, 11:20-13:00)
  

Wireless networks cannot be regarded solely as a set of concurrent point-to-point links. More appropriate models are many-to-one links where many users transmit to a single base station and one-to-many links where a single base station transmits to many users.

The wireless industry has started to integrate single-user MIMO techniques into existing multi-user cellular standards and to define new cellular standards based on MIMO. Currently, little is published about how to optimally leverage the new degrees of freedom resulting from MIMO terminals in a multi-user context.

The goal of this special session is to highlight concepts and techniques for multi-user MIMO communications both in cellular networks and in ad-hoc mode. This session will highlight recent advances in multi-user MIMO techniques on the physical-, medium access-, and radio link control layers.
