TAXONOMY OF SPACE-TIME PROCESSING FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS

A taxonomy of space-time signal processing is addressed in terms of ar chitectural and algorithmic classification, and the influence of the p ropagation channel on the space-time processing. The architecture is c lassified according to link structure, channel reuse and multiple acce ss scheme. Algorithms are classified into channel estimation methods, TDMA and CDMA receive algorithms and space-time transmit algorithms. F inally, the effects of Doppler spread, delay spread and angle spread o n space-time processing are discussed.
