Rapid growth of wireless communication services in recent decades has created
a huge demand of radio spectrum. Spectrum scarcity and utilization inefficiency
limit the development of wireless networks. Cognitive radio is a promising tech-
nology that allows secondary users to reuse the underutilized ...
Recent decades have shown a tremendous expansion of the Internet. The number of
connected terminals has increased by orders of magnitude, traffic has grown exponen-
tially, coverage has become ubiquitous and worldwide, and today’s sophisticated Web
2.0 applications are increasingly providing servic ...
The ever-increasing demand for private and sensitive data transmission over wireless net-
works has made security a crucial concern in the current and future large-scale, dynamic,
and heterogeneous wireless communication systems. To address this challenge, computer
scientists and engineers have trie ...
This book focuses on the study and development of one of the most
advanced topics in broadband wireless communications systems:
power efficiency and power consumption in wireless communications
systems, especially of mobile devices. Hence, the main focus of this
book is on the most recent techniques ...
Without doubt, the age of information communications is upon 11s. The rapid
pace of technological advancement in digital data communications can be wit-
nessed in a multitude of applications in our day-to-day existence. In recent
years, the widespread proliferation of wireles ...
This book is a result of the recent rapid advances in two related technologies: com-
munications and computers. Over the past few decades, communication systems
have increased in complexity to the point where system design and performance
analysis can no longer be conducted without a significant lev ...
Quality of Service ( QoS ) has always been in a world of its own, but as the technology
has been refi ned and has evolved in recent years, QOS usage has increased to the point
where it is now considered a necessary part of network design and operation. As with
most technologies, large - scale deploy ...
We are currently witnessing an increase in telecommunications norms and
standards given the recent advances in this domain. The increasing number of
normalized standards paves the way for an increase in the range of offers and
services available for each consumer. Moreover, the majority of available ...
The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique provides higher bit rates
and better reliability in wireless systems. The efficient design of RF transceivers
has a vital impact on the implementation of this technique. This first book is com-
pletely devoted to RF transceiver design for MIMO comm ...
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 ...
