Course Textbook:

There is no single textbook to cover all topics. The following books will be used on a need-to-know basis:

 

1.         D. Tse, P. Viswanath, Fundamentals of Wireless Communications, Cambridge University Press, 2005. (this is a comprehensive well-written textbook on a wider topic, but approx. 50% of it deal with MIMO systems or closely-related subjects while giving a good introduction of basic digital communications and information theory as it relates to wireless communications. You are strongly encouraged to read this book not only to learn the technical subject but also to learn how to write well in technical English. Solving end-of-chapter problems is essential for deep understanding of the material. )

2.         J.R. Barry, E.A. Lee, D.G. Messerschmitt, Digital Communications (3rd Ed.), Kluwer, Boston, 2004. – see Chapters 10 and 11.

3.         R.W. Heath, A. Lozano, Foundations of MIMO Communications, Cambridge University Press, 2019.

10.  M. Bloch and J. Barros, Physical-Layer Security: From Information Theory to Security Engineering, Cambridge University Press, 2011

Matrices/linear algebra

10. A.J. Laub, Matrix Analysis for Scientists and Engineers, SIAM, 2005. -
this is a good introductory book with discussion of basic techniques and results in linear algebra and matrix theory.
11.  F. Zhang, Matrix Theory, Springer, 1999. – this is a more comprehensive textbook of matrix theory, with many end-of-chapter problems.
12. R.A. Horn, C.R. Johnson, Matrix Analysis, Cambridge University Press. this and the 2nd volume (next) is a comprehensive book, which treats in detail all important methods and results in matrix theory; it is very well written and end-of-chapter problems are well-selected. Strongly recommended, especially if you use matrix theory in your research.
13.  R.A. Horn, C.R. Johnson, Topics in Matrix Analysis, Cambridge University Press, 1991. – see the comments for # 14.
14. D.S. Bertstein, Matrix Mathematics, Princeton University Press, 2005. - this is an extensive handbook with many facts and formulas involving matrices, which are well categorized and handy to use (but this is not a textbook - you cannot learn matrix theory from it).
15. Matrix Cookbook - a handbook on matrices, pdf is available.
16. R. Bronson, Matrix Operations, McGraw Hill, 2011. – a handbook on matrices/linear algebra with many solved problems.



Convex Optimization in MIMO Communications/Signal Processing
