During the past decade, many wireless communication techniques have been
developedto achievevariousgoals suchas higherdata rate,morerobustlink quality,
and higher number of users in a given bandwidth. For wireless communication
systems, depending on the availability of a feedback link, two approache ...
Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) is an effective alternative technology to
meet the Next Generation Network (NGN) demands as well as highly secured (mili-
tary) communications. FSOC includes various advantages like last mile access, easy
installation, free of Electro Magnetic Interference (EM ...
OSCILLATORS are key building blocks in integrated transceivers. In wired and
wireless communication terminals, the receiver front-end selects, amplifies and
converts the desired high-frequency signal to baseband. At baseband the signal can
then be converted into the digital domain for further data p ...
To meet the future demand for huge traffic volume of wireless data service, the research on the fifth generation
(5G) mobile communication systems has been undertaken in recent years. It is expected that the spectral and energy
efficiencies in 5G mobile communication systems should be ten-fold highe ...
In the nineteenth century, scientists, mathematician, engineers and innovators started
investigating electromagnetism. The theory that underpins wireless communications was
formed by Maxwell. Early demonstrations took place by Hertz, Tesla and others. Marconi
demonstrated the first wireless transmis ...
LTE-Advanced becomes a truly global standard for 4G cellular communications.
Relay, as one of the key technologies of LTE-Advanced, can significantly extend
the coverage, and improve the system throughput. LTE-A standards and tech-
nologies were described in several recent books where the limited pa ...
MIMO-OFDM is a key technology for next-generation cellular communications (3GPP-LTE,
Mobile WiMAX, IMT-Advanced) as well as wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n),
wireless PAN (MB-OFDM), and broadcasting (DAB, DVB, DMB). This book provides a
comprehensive introduction to the basic theory and pra ...
With this book at your fingertips, you, the reader, and I have something in common. We share
the same interest in mobile radio channels. This area attracted my interest first in autumn 1992
whenImovedfromindustrytoacademiatofindachallengeinmylifeandtopursueascientific
career. Since then, I consider ...
At the macroscopic level of system layout, the most important issue is path loss. In the
older mobile radio systems that are limited by receiver noise, path loss determines SNR and
the maximum coverage area. In cellular systems, where the limiting factor is cochannel
interference, path loss determin ...
The family of recent wireless standards included the optional employment of Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output(MIMO)techniques.This was motivatedby the observationaccordingto the
classic Shannon–Hartley law that the achievable channel capacity increases logarithmically
with the transmit power. In contr ...
