Employing multiple transmit and receive antennas, namely using multi-input multi-output
(MIMO) systems, has proven to be a major breakthrough in providing reliable wireless
communication links. Since their invention in the mid-1990s, transmit diversity, achieved
through space-time coding, and spatia ...
The aim of this book, the first of two volumes, is to present selected research that
has been undertaken under COST Action IC0902 ‘‘Cognitive Radio and Net-
working for Cooperative Coexistence of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks’’
(http://newyork.ing.uniroma1.it/IC0902/). COST (European Cooperati ...
The idea of writing this book entitled “Cognitive Networked Sensing and Big Data”
started with the plan to write a briefing book on wireless distributed computing
and cognitive sensing. During our research on large-scale cognitive radio network
(and its experimental testbed), we realized that big ...
The book you’re holding, physically or electronically, is the result of a very
interesting, challenging but also rewarding research project. The research was
carried out in different contexts and cooperations but it was centered around the
following question: how can we make the RF transmitters of ...
This book presents, in a unitary and novel perspective, some of the research work
the authors have carried out over the last decade, along with several collaborators and
students. The roots of this book can be traced back to the design of adaptive sequence
detection algorithms for channels with para ...
When joining Siemens in 2001, I also extended my research interest towards radio net-
work planning methodologies. This area of research brought together my personal interest
in mobile communications and in the design of efficient algorithms and data structures.
Between 2001 and 2003, I participated ...
With the advancement of technology and miniaturization of electronic devices, applications of
wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be seen in diverse areas in our lives. In fact, these WSNs
have gained a lot of attention from both the research community and industry, making them
easily available on t ...
During the past two decades there has been a substantial growth in research in
wireless communications. The number of journals published from various parts of
the world catering to the research community has grown exponentially. Despite
such a growth, the engineering community still needs more infor ...
The writing of this book was prompted by two main developments in wireless
communications in the past decade. First is the huge surge of research activities in
physical-layer wireless communication theory. While this has been a subject of study
since the 60’s, recent developments in the field, such ...
This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor-
ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are
today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs,
colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the ...
