Digital mobile wireless communication and the Internet have undergone a
fantastic growth in the last few years and, despite originating from two different
worlds, they are converging. This convergence corresponds to the evolution of
mobile systems towards the highest broadband data transmissions (GS ...
The unguided transmission of information using electromagnetic waves
at radio frequency (RF) is often referred to as wireless communications,
the first demonstration of which took place at the end of the 19th cen-
tury and is attributed to Hertz. The technology was, shortly thereafter,
commercialise ...
The outcome of the 3GPP SAE (system architecture evolution) technical study
and specification work is a set of standards that specifies the evolution of the
packet core network for GSM/GPRS and WCDMA/HSPA to an all-IP architec-
ture and enables a feature-rich ‘common packet core’ for radio accesse ...
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 ...
The book is written for those concerned with the design and performance of satellite
communications systems employed in fixed point-to-point, broadcasting, mobile, radio-
navigation,data-relay,computercommunications,andrelatedsatellite-basedapplications.The

Developers, manufacturers and marketers of products incorporating short-
range radio systems are experts in their fields—security, telemetry,
medical care, to name a few. Often they add a wireless interface just to
eliminate wires on an existing wired product. They may adapt a wireless
subsystem, w ...
The radio spectrum is one of the most precious resources which must be managed
to ensure efficient access for the wireless communication services which use it. The
allocation and management of spectrum are administered by the regulatory
authorities. Traditionally, spectrum allocation is carried out ...
Heterogeneous Network (HetNet): A network that consists of a mix of macro cells and low-power
nodes, e.g. Pico, Femto, Relay Node (RN) and Remote Radio Head (RRH)
Radio frequency spectrum is a scarce and critical natural resource that is utilized for
many services including surveillance, navigation, communication, and broadcast-
ing. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the use of spectrum especially by
commercial cellular operators. Ubiquitous use of ...
When thinking about mobile radio engineers there is a tendency to
assume that the engineering function relates solely to the technical
aspects of the network, such as the equipment design or the network
design. That is certainly a key part of the role of a mobile radio engineer.
However,increasingly ...
