Modern wireless communication systems exploit multi-path propagation for simultaneous data transmission from one transmitter to multiple receivers. Erroneous channel knowledge due to noise-prone estimation and delays can lead to increased interference at the receivers. The thesis investigates beamforming solutions that restrict the probability for associated data losses. Conservative approximations and efficient algorithms are developed for this problem and then evaluated for satellite communication.      «
