It has been estimated that data traffic from the different mobile devices that range from smartphones to machine-to-machine (M2M) devices will exceed 15.9 exabyte per month by the year 2018. With this immense data growth, the current wireless communication systems suffer from the scarcity of the radio spectrum and eventually...
Due to the continued evolution of 5G standards, the need for higher rates of data, lower latency network access, and implementations that are more energy efficient have become clear. To enable wireless communications at rates over tens of Gbps, the wide bandwidth of mmWave spectrum can be exploited. Beamforming (or...
In wireless communication, channel state information (CSI) is essential for data detection. Fast fading coefficients estimation is important in order to acquire accurate CSI. Kalman filters (KF) are widely used for real time parameter estimation and can be used to estimate the fast fading coefficients of a mobile communication channel....
Designing spectral efficient, high-speed wireless links that offer high quality-

Massive MIMO is a promising technique for future 5G communications due to its high spectrum and energy efficiency. To realize its potential performance gain, accurate channel state information at transmitter side (CSIT) is essential. Frequency division duplex (FDD) is widely employed by the most cellular systems today. However, it requires...
Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes combine packet retransmission with forward error correction to ensure a reliable communications. In multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems, interference cancellation (IC) detection is widely used where the detection and cancellation steps of the simultaneously transmitted data streams occur. In principle, the signal stream estimated...
One of the key challenges in downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is the mitigation of the multi-access interference when different users share the same subcarriers. In this work, the block diagonalization (BD) algorithm for inter-user interference pre-cancelation is extended to MIMO-OFDM systems. However, in...
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology is promising
for high-speed wireless communications without increasing the transmission band-
width. Space time coding (STC) is a scheme that employs multiple antennas to
increase transmission rate or to improve transmission quality. STC is used widely
in mobile cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLAN)...
Multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems promise significant capacity gain
and/or diversity gain over single antenna systems. If channel state information (CSI)
is available at both the transmitter and the receiver, the performance can be further
improved. In this thesis, first, we study binary index feedback problem in beamforming
systems when the...
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas can be exploited to provide high data rate using a limited bandwidth through multiplexing gain. MIMO combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) could potentially provide high data rate and high spectral efficiency in frequency-selective fading channels. MIMO-OFDM technology has been widely employed in modern communication...
