Initial synchronisation of MIMO transceivers : CDMA, MC-CDMA, OFDM, UWB and cooperative systems

Numerous wireless systems have adopted MIMOs(Multiple-in & Multiple-out smart antennas), yet no comprehensive book which examines MIMO-aided transceiver synchronization issues exists. This book thoroughly investigates and analysis performance characteristics of various code acquisition schemes including Single-Carrier (SC) and Multi-Carrier (MC) Code Division Multiple Access schemes.

This book also discuss the clock- and carrier-synchronization of both classic single-Carrier and multi-carrier OFDM systems, which found their way into both the 3rd generation LTE and another set of wireless communication IEEE standards (WiFi, WiMax, etc.)
