Relaying techniques, in which a source node communicates to a destination node
with the help of a relay, have been proposed as a cost-effective solution to address
the increasing demand for high data rates and reliable services over the air. As
such, it is crucial to design relay systems that are ab ...
The growing interest for high data rate wireless communications over the last few decades
gave rise to the emergence of a number of wideband wireless systems. The resulting scarcity
of frequency spectrum has been forcing wireless system designers to develop methods that
will push the spectral effici ...
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 ...
The working title of this book was Channel Equalization for Everyone. Channel
equalization for everyone? Well, for high school students, channel equalization
provides a simple, interesting example of how mathematics and physics can be
used to solve real-world problems.
Today’s wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the
conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access
in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing.
New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating
thi ...
This introduction takes a visionary look at ideal cognitive radios (CRs) that inte-
grate advanced software-defined radios (SDR) with CR techniques to arrive at
radios that learn to help their user using computer vision, high-performance
speech understanding, global positioning system (GPS) navigati ...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems have recently been the
subject of intensive consideration in modem wireless communications as they
offer the potential of providing high capacity, thus unleashing a wide range of
applications in the wireless domain. The main feature of MIMO systems is th ...
In 2005, when the world crossed-over to Web 2.0, business professionals and managers in
every industry – from traditional retail to high tech media and telecom – felt the first powerful
tremors of the strategic shifts taking place, sweeping away traditional business models and
altering competitive ...
The new digital radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting, nowadays often called
Digital Radio) is a very innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system which will
replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in
the future. It was developed in the 1990s ...
The design and manufacturing of wireless radio frequency (RF) transceivers has developed rapidly in recent ten
yeas due to rapid development of RF integrated circuits and the evolution of high-speed digital signal
processors (DSP). Such high speed signal processors, in conjunction with the developme ...
