Abstract

The ever-increasing demand for higher information-transfer rates in wireless data networks invokes the need to develop more spectrally-efficient communication strategies. Techniques such as MIMO and turbo-coded CDMA are well known and obvious candidates for improving the spectral efficiency of next-generation wireless networks, and addressing the limitations of currently implemented technologies. Correspondingly, such methods are finding their way into wireless network standards such as 3GPP and IEEE 802.20. One measure of the size of a communication system is the number of independent data streams being transmitted simultaneously through a channel, assuming tight constraints on available bandwidth and signal power. Such data streams may originate from different users all wishing to communicate at once. In addition, each user may wish to transmit independent data on more than one antenna simultaneously in order to increase his or her own data rate. Although strategies for such multi-dimensional signalling have seen significant improvements in recent years, most of the techniques proposed in the literature still suffer from either poor performance or prohibitive complexity when the size of the system grows large. This thesis is concerned primarily with supporting high systemspectral-efficiencies in very large systems, while maintaining strong resistance to data errors with manageable complexity.
