Interference Cancellation Using Space-Time Processing and Precoding Design introduces original design methods to achieve interference cancellation, low-complexity decoding and full diversity for a series of multi-user systems. In multi-user environments, co-channel interference will diminish the performance of wireless communications systems. In this book, we investigate how to design robust space-time codes and pre-coders to suppress the co-channel interference when multiple antennas are available. This book offers a valuable reference work for graduate students, academic researchers and engineers who are interested in interference cancellation in wireless communications. Rigorous performance analysis and various simulation illustrations are included for each design method. Dr. Feng Li is a scientific researcher at Cornell University.

In this book, various singularly perturbed jump system models in continuous-time or discrete-time domain, such as Markov jump singularly perturbed systems, semi-Markov jump singularly perturbed systems, hidden Markov jump singularly perturbed systems, and singularly perturbed jump complex network model, have been considered for some control synthesis problems. Also, some partial probability information cases are taken into account when addressing those control synthesis problems. To show the effectiveness and applicability of the obtained results, some numerical examples and practical industrial model examples are given.
