The 7th International Workshop on Multi-Carrier Systems and Solutions was held in May 2009. In providing the proceedings of that conference, this book offers comprehensive, state-of-the-art articles about multi-carrier techniques and systems.
The wireless standards 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE), WiMAX, IEEE 802.11a/n, and DxB have in common that they apply the spectrally efficient multi-carrier modulation in order to achieve very high rate data transmission. This trend is expected to continue in the future with the development of the next generation of mobile wireless communications under the IMT-Advanced standardization activities. Additional measures like advanced coding, spreading, and MIMO are combined with multi-carrier transmission to further enhance the efficiency of future systems.
The aim of Multi-Carrier Systems & Solutions 2009 is to edit the ensemble of the newest contributions and research results in this field that have been presented during the 7th International Workshop on Multi-Carrier Systems & Solutions (MC-SS 2009), held in Herrsching, Germany.
