This present project precisely aims at further developing random matrix tools for the 5G paradigm in two specific directions: (i) improving existing techniques for the assessment of the SINR performance in multi-user MIMO networks accounting for interference management and imperfect CSI at the base stations, and (ii) bringing to practice the novel information-theoretic error probability bounds for point-to-point MIMO communications. The ultimate goal is then to reach practical and intuitive algorithms for use in 5G communication protocols.
