Distributed MIMO and cell-free mobile communication are emerging technologies of wireless communication. This book introduces the fundamental theory, key technology and the prototype system of distributed MIMO and cellular free mobile communication system, including the unified system model, capacity and spectral efficiency analysis under imperfect channel information, cell edge effect, optimal power allocation and energy efficiency optimization, cache optimization, low complexity wireless transmission technology and new network assisted full duplex technology. In addition, the implementation of software and hardware and test results of distributed MIMO and cell free system based on cloud architecture are introduced in detail.This book will benefit senior undergraduates, postgraduates, scholars and engineers who are engaged in wireless mobile communication research. It can also be used as a reference book for postgraduates and researchers in the field of electronic and information engineering.
