Abstract:
The past two decades have experienced many breakthrough technologies in wireless communications. The dimension and complexity of wireless systems have increased and evolved dramatically, which brings challenges in the performance analysis and transceiver designs. This two-part seminar is to review and summarize some fundamental mathematical concepts and techniques for wireless communications research, especially for multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) and massive MIMO systems. The first part is on circularly symmetric complex Gaussian matrix. It covers 1) the description of real-valued and complex-valued random variable, random vector, and random matrix; 2) circularly symmetric complex Gaussian random matrix and Wishart matrix; and 3) MIMO applications. The second part is on convergence and related asymptotic analytical methods for massive MIMO. It covers 1) convergence for deterministic scalar/matrix sequence; 2) convergence for random scalar/matrix sequence; and 3) some methods for massive MIMO performance analysis.
