Information theoretic limits of MIMO wireless networks with bounded input and imperfect CSIT

Abstract

In this thesis, we investigate some information theoretic limits of two specific types of MIMO wireless networks. In the first one, the effect of channel uncertainty at the transmitter (due to estimation error, feedback latency, and so on) in MIMO broadcast channels is investigated. In this setting, we capture this imperfectness in the bounds for the DoF region of the channel. The second one is the point to point deterministic MIMO channel with input amplitude constraint. For certain settings, the capacity of this channel is derived, while for the general problem, upper and lower bounds for the capacity are obtained.
