This paper covers the keynote address delivered by the
Chairman of the COST Action 285 at the Symposium. It outlines the
studies undertaken by the members of the Action with the objective of
enhancing existing modeling and simulation tools and to develop new ones
for research in emerging multiservic ...
Emerging technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX are profoundly changing the
landscape of wireless broadband. As we evolve into future generation wireless
networks, a primary challenge is the support of high data rate, integrated multi-
media type traffic over a unified platform. Due to its ...
Optical wireless communication is an emerging and dynamic research and development
area that has generated a vast number of interesting solutions to very complicated
communication challenges. For example, high data rate, high capacity and minimum
interference links for short-range communication for ...
Reliable and accurate positioning and navigation is critical for a diverse set of emerging applications
calling for advanced signal-processing techniques. This book provides an overview of some of the
most recent research results in the field of signal processing for positioning and navigation, addr ...
Software Radio (SR) is one of the most important emerging technologies for the
future of wireless communication services. By moving radio functionality into
software, it promises to give flexible radio systems that are multi-service, multi-
standard, multi-band, reconfigurable and reprogrammable by ...
Driven by the desire to boost the quality of service of wireless systems closer to that afforded
by wireline systems, space-time processing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
wireless communications research has drawn remarkable interest in recent years. Excit-
ing theoretical advances, compl ...
Welcome to the world of wireless communications and the logical extension
to the broadband architectures that are emerging as the future of the
industry. No aspect of communications will be untouched by the wireless
interfaces;no part of our working environment will be left untouched either.
As the ...
Wireless communications, together with its applications and underlying technologies, is
among today’s most active areas of technology development. The very rapid pace of im-
provements in both custom and programmable integrated circuits for signal processing ap-
plications has led to the justfiable ...
This paper reviews key factors to practical ESD
protection design for RF and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs,
including general challenges emerging, ESD-RFIC interactions,
RF ESD design optimization and prediction, RF ESD design
characterization, ESD-RFIC co-design technique, etc. Practical
design exa ...
Commercial energy storage has moved from the margins to the mainstream as it
fosters flexibility in our smarter, increasingly integrated energy systems. The
energy density, availability, and relatively clean fossil profile of natural gas ensure
its critical role as a fuel for heating and electricity ...
