Taxonomy of space–time processing for wireless networks

Abstract
A taxonomy of space–time signal processing is addressed in terms of architectural and algorithmic classification, and the influence of the propagation channel on the space–time processing. The architecture is classified according to link structure, channel reuse and multiple access scheme. Algorithms are classified into channel estimation methods, TDMA and CDMA receive algorithms and space–time transmit algorithms. Finally, the effects of Doppler spread, delay spread and angle spread on space–time processing are discussed.
