Abstract

Reliability of any communication technology, such as wireless channels, can be measured by the probability of incorrect decoding of a sent message. The lower is this probability the more reliable is the technology. The main problem in wireless communication is that the signals are affected not only by the noise at the receiving antennas (like it is the case for communication through wires), but also by the degradation due to obstacles of the physical environment in which the signals run. This kind of degradation is commonly referred to as fading. In response to this problem and for other technical reasons, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels have become increasingly popular in the past decade.

Communication

Communication is usually defined as the transmission of information. The term can also refer to the message itself, or the field of inquiry studying these transmissions, also known as communication studies. The precise definition of communication is disputed. Controversial issues are whether unintentional or failed transmissions are included and whether communication does not just transmit meaning but also create it. Models of communication aim to provide a simplified overview of its main components and their interaction.

Wireless

Wireless communication (or just wireless, when the context allows) is the transfer of information (telecommunication) between two or more points without the use of an electrical conductor, optical fiber or other continuous guided medium for the transfer. The most common wireless technologies use radio waves. With radio waves, intended distances can be short, such as a few meters for Bluetooth or as far as millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications.

Wireless network

A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Admin telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.
