Multiuser MIMO Tutorial, Vienna

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

This tutorial will take place in Vienna, Austria from February 28th until March 2nd, 2007.

It is jointly organised by the FP6-IST projects and TechGate, Vienna, Austria in connection with the ITG/IEEE Workshop on Smart Antennas 2007.
