MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology has brought profound changes to the wireless communication landscape. From the initialdesign goals of maximizing the diversity or multiplexing gain, MIMOresearch focus has moved on to non-vanishing determinant codes,fast-decodable codes, multi-user MIMO broadcast, MIMO relaying forcooperative diversity, and multi-cell MIMO for interference management, etc. In this talk, I will present some of the MIMOresearch works conducted by us in recent years. They include: 1. Fast-group-decodable high-rate STBC (space time block code) that has both quasi-orthogonal and "fast decodable" code structures2. Shift-orthogonal STBC that achieves full cooperative diversity in asynchronous channels with symbol-wise linear decoding3. 2-step bi-directional MIMO relaying with analog/binary network coding4. Formulating distributed multi-cell interference management as a"potential game".
