MIMO Interference: Dont Forget the Spatial Structure!

Speaker: Nicolai Czink
Stanford UniversityAbstract: The capacity of MIMO links under interference is already well known for spatially white channels. However, most channels show a specific spatial structure. In this talk, I will discuss the spatial properties of best-case and worst-case interference (maximizing or minimizing the mutual information), and will present results from a recent measurement campaign supporting our analytic results.Biography: Nicolai Czink received his MSc and PhD degrees from Vienna University of Technology in 2004 and 2008, respectively, both with distinction. Since 2005, he is with the ftw. Telecommunications Research Center Vienna, where he is Senior Researcher in the area of wireless communications at present. In April 2008, he joined the Smart Antennas Research Group at Stanford University as a Postdoctoral Scholar, working on MIMO interference measurements an modeling.Host: Andreas Molisch, 04670, EEB 530, molisch@usc.edu
