Introduction
1 A Brief Look Back to the Story of MIMO
The use of multiple antennas at both the transmit and receive ends has become one of the most important paradigms for the deployment of existing and emerging wireless communications systems. The importance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems is witnessed by their presence in many recent standards, such as IEEE802.11n, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution (LTE). Interestingly, like many other brilliant solutions developed in these years in the field of digital communications, the MIMO concept is not a new idea but dated back to the 1970s and was studied as a model for multipair telephone ...
