This comprehensive book delves into innovative mmWave solutions for enhancing vehicular communication safety and reliability. Authored by experts in the field, it covers a range of topics, including channel estimation, multi-user transceiver design, and advanced index modulation.

In the chapter on channel estimation, the authors introduce unique channel properties and hybrid structures, paving the way for the development of a highly efficient doubly-sparse doubly-selective channel estimator. This estimator leverages the sparsity of the channel to achieve accurate estimation, even in challenging environments.

Moving on to multi-user transceiver design, the concept of hybrid block diagonalization (HBD) is introduced. HBD is a powerful technique that enables the efficient utilization of limited channel resources by diagonalizing the transmit and receive matrices. The authors then present a generic HBD-based transceiver design, which maximizes the system capacity by jointly optimizing the transmit power and channel allocation.

In the chapter on advanced index modulation, the authors explore generalized beamspace modulation for uplink multi-user scenarios. This modulation technique allows for efficient transmission of data to multiple users by exploiting the spatial diversity of the mmWave channel. They also introduce precoded beamspace modulation for the downlink, which further enhances the communication performance by mitigating the effects of channel fading.

To conclude, the book discusses open problems and future research directions in mmWave vehicular communications. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in advancing the state-of-the-art in this rapidly evolving field.
