Multiuser MIMO-OFDM
for Next-Generation
Wireless Systems
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless systems using OFDM promise to
provide the needed performance for future consumer products. This paper reviews
existing MIMO-OFDM systems, discusses their limitations, and examines the
use of ic Algorithms (GAs) as a tool to handle large numbers of users.
