spectral efficiency in ground-based, air-based, and space-based cooperative transmission systems.
In the first chapter, the book outlines the history of mobile communication and the characteristics of ground-based, air-based, and space-based cooperative communication systems. And then in the first part, the multi-antenna system and the key technologies of signal transmission and reception are discussed. Focusing on these issues, the vector space and multi-antenna system, adaptive system, MIMO multi-antenna system, and spatial multidimensional signal reception and iterative processing technologies are introduced in Chapters 2–5. Based on the above theories and technologies, the application and the corresponding key technologies of spatial multidimensional cooperative transmission in ground-based, air-based, and space-based communication systems are introduced in Chapters 6–8 of the second part.
Our team has worked on the research of space–air–ground-integrated transmission for many years and has undertaken many national-level scientific research projects. We have relevant foundations both in theory and engineering practice. The content of this book is taken from the results of many years of our research, and the principles and methods are expounded by combining theory with engineering practice. This book provides a step-by-step elaboration of the theories, which is very suitable for college graduates with a certain level of professional foundation as well as for researchers and engineers in research institutions.
Based on the principle of multidimensional signal transmission and multi-antenna system, this book provides suggestions on how to maximize the use of spatial dimension resources to improve system performance and spectrum efficiency in ground-based, air-based, and space-based cooperative transmission systems. The main contents of this book include basic theories and key technologies such as adaptive antenna system, spatial multidimensional signal transmission and reception, multi-antenna design, and iterative signal processing in a MIMO multi-antenna system. Based on the above theories and technologies, this book also presents the characteristics and applications of spatial multidimensional cooperative transmission in ground-based, air-based, and space-based communication systems from the perspective of practical application.
The book is rich in content and clear in structure. It is a technical book with emphasis on both theory and practice. It can be used as a postgraduate textbook for the major of mobile Internet communication and serve as a handbook also suitable for researchers engaged in related fields.
