MIMO Processing for 4G and Beyond

Mario Marques da Silva is an associate professor at the Universidade Autonoma de Lisboa, and a researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes in Lisbon, Portugal. He received his BSc in electrical engineering in 1992, and MSc and PhD in telecommunications/electrical engineering in 1999 and 2005, respectively, both from Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon.

Between 2005 and 2008, he was with NATO Air Command Control & Management Agency (NACMA) in Brussels (Belgium), where he managed the deployable communications of the new Air Command and Control System Program. He has been involved in several telecommunications projects. His research interests include networking and mobile communications, namely, block transmission techniques (OFDM, SC-FDE), interference cancellation, space-time coding, MIMO systems, smart and adaptive antennas, channel estimation, software defined radio, IP technologies, and network security. Mario Marques da Silva is also a Cisco certified CCNA instructor.

He has authored books such as Multimedia Communications and Networking (CRC Press), Transmission Techniques for Emergent Multicast and Broadcast Systems (CRC Press), and Transmission Techniques for 4G Systems (CRC Press), as well as authored several dozens of journal and conference papers. He is a member of IEEE and AFCEA, as well as reviewer for a number of international scientific IEEE journals and conferences. Finally, he has chaired many conference sessions and has been serving in the organizing committee of relevant EURASIP and IEEE conferences.
