Our Goal
 Technologies in the 21st century are moving
towards the integration of many fields. With this
trend, the training for electrical and computer
engineering should cover the research areas
completely, and emphasize the inter-discipline
skills.
 Our goal:
Advance your career in high-tech with state-of-art
electrical and computer systems knowledge and
skills.

Optimal Code Design for MIMO Multiple Access Channel
The Most Flexible Construction of Optimal Codes for MIMOMultiple-Access Channel


In this work we provide a systematic construction of space-time codes that is optimal in terms of diversitymultiplexing gain tradeoff.
It is also the most flexible construction that works for any combination of transmit/receive antennas, and any
number of users with arbitrary transmission rates.
