MIMO Wireless Networks: Channels, Techniques and Standards for Multi-Antenna, Multi-User and Multi-Cell Systems 2nd Edition

This book is an excellent reference for MIMO wireless communications. The authors assume that the reader is already well-versed in the basics of communication theory and wireless channel modeling.This book is a good mix of equations, graphs, and written descriptions. I found the written descriptions to be intuitive and well-worded.Another excellent benefit of this book is its comprehensive list of references. Reference material is gratuitously cited throughout the book, allowing readers to easily search for more depth in specific areas of interest while keeping the book at a digestible length of ~750 pages.This book contains substantial updates on the first edition. The final four chapters: "12. Multi-User MIMO", "13. Multi-Cell MIMO", "14. MIMO in LTE, LTE-Advanced, and WiMAX", and "15. MIMO-OFDMA System Level Evaluation" are brand new. There are also many updates and additions to the material covered in the first edition, too many to list.Overall this is an excellent purchase if you want a comprehensive MIMO reference, and it is worth updating from the first edition if you are interested in any of the topics listed above.

Well written book. Starts from very basics and develop towards state of the art.
