 Abstract: Due to the increasing demand for higher data rates\, spatial mul
 tiplexing received a lot of attention. The ability of a base station to do
  beamforming so that it can serve multiple users at the same time slot and
  frequency can provide significantly higher rates. When the channel state 
 information is assumed to be perfectly known at the transmitter\, designs 
 as the zeroforcing\, regularized zero-forcing and maximum ratio transmissi
 on can be applied. Those conventional methods are typically of low complex
 ity. In reality the channel state information is estimated and estimation 
 errors are inevitable. Many beamforming designs tried to incorporate the c
 hannel uncertainty model into the design problem. While those robust desig
 ns normally work better than the conventional designs\, their computationa
 l complexity is usually much higher. Today we will provide a new approach 
 to dealing with robust beamforming design that is of low- complexity and p
 erforms significantly better than both conventional and current robust met
 hods.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mostafa Medra\, \, Mostafa Medra\, \n\nRoom: BA 2145\
