Eine vielversprechende Technologie zur Maximierung der Bandbreiteneffizienz in der breitbandigen drahtlosen Kommunikation ist die Raum-Zeit-Kodierung. Theorie und Praxis verbindend, ist dieses Buch die erste umfassende Diskussion von Grundlagen und designorientierten Aspekten von Raum-Zeit-Codes. Single-Carrier und Multi-Carrier-Übertragungen für Einzel- und Mehrnutzerkommunikation werden behandelt.
