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 ...
The objective of this book is to allow the reader to predict the received
signal power produced by a particular radio transmitter. The first two
chapters examine propagation in free space for point-to-point and
point-to-area transmission, respectively. This is combined with a dis-
cussion regarding ...
This book is intended for RF planners, to serve as a practical tool in their daily work
designing indoor radio distribution systems.
Based on feedback from readers of the first edition it was clear to me that I needed to add
more material and in depth description of the basics of indoor systems base ...
This book is intended for the RF planners, to serve as a practical tool in their daily work
designing indoor radio distribution systems. It is not a complete book about all the deep
aspects and corners of GSM, DCS, UMTS and HSPA networks, or all the core network
systems. It is dedicated to the last ...
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 ...
Mobile radio networks have risen in prominence over the last few years, primarily by the rise
in popularity of cellular phones. It is important to recognise however that mobile radio
technology fulfils a far wider range of applications that meet the demands of the modern
world. These include the net ...
Radio propagation measurements and channel modelling continue to be of fundamental importance
to radio system design. As new technology enables dynamic spectrum access and higher data rates,
radio propagation effects such as shadowing, the presence of multipath and frequency dispersion
are the limit ...
In a cellular communication system, a service area or a geographical
region is divided into a number of cells, and each cell is served by an
infrastructure element called the base station through a radio interface.
Management of radio interface related resources is a critical design
component in cel ...
This book provides the essential design techniques for radio systems that
operate at frequencies of 3 MHz to 100 GHz and which will be employed in
the telecommunication service. We may also call these wireless systems,
wireless being synonymous with radio, Telecommunications is a vibrant indus-
try, ...
One of the prerequisites for the development of telecommunication services is the
understanding of the propagation of the waves, either acoustic, electromagnetic,
radio or light waves, which are used for the transmission of information.
In this work, we shall limit ourselves to the study of radio wa ...
