Highlights

In the first paper “Space-time water-filling for composite MIMO fading channels,” Shen et al analyze the ergodic capacity and outage probability of the MIMO fading channel
The 3G+ wireless systems can be characterized by aggregate bit rates in the range of Mbps, quality-of-service (QoS) support for interactive multimedia services, global mobility, service portability, enhanced ubiquity, and larger user capacity and coverage
Two papers are on capacity prediction and outage analysis, two are on downlink power minimization algorithms, three are on rate scheduling based on real-time channel conditions, two are on multicast multimedia service delivery, three are on cross-layer design, and one is on vertical handoff mechanism

Summary

Introduction

In the first paper “Space-time water-filling for composite MIMO fading channels,” Shen et al analyze the ergodic capacity and outage probability of the MIMO fading channel. With the required support for multimedia services to multiple users over diverse wireless networks and the ever-increasing demand for high-quality wireless services, the need for effective and efficient RRM techniques becomes more important than ever.
