When we started thinking about writing this book, we had been working together for more
than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.Therefore, it
is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for MIMO
wirelesscommunications.Yet, thisb ...
This books presents the research work of COST 273 Towards Mobile Broadband Multimedia
Networks, hence, it reports on the work performed and on the results achieved within the project
by its participants. The material presented here corresponds to the results obtained in four years
of collaborative w ...
There is a phenomenal burst of research activities in mobile cloud
computing systems, which extends cloud computing functions, ser-
vices, and results to the world of future mobile communications
applications, and the paradigm of cloud computing and virtualization
to mobile networks. Mobile applicat ...
Transmit power in wireless cellular networks is a key degree of freedom
in the management of interference, energy, and connectivity. Power
control in both uplink and downlink of a cellular network has been
extensively studied, especially over the last 15 years, and some of the
results have enabled t ...
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 ...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology enables high data-rate short-range communica-
tion, in excess of hundredmegabit-per-secondsand up to multi-gigabit-per-seconds,
over a wide spectrum of frequencies, while keeping power consumption at low lev-
els. This low power operation results in a less-interfering ...
Driven by the desire to boost the quality of service of wireless systems closer to that afforded
by wireline systems, space-time processing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
wireless communications research has drawn remarkable interest in recent years. Excit-
ing theoretical advances, compl ...
The continuing vitality of spread-spectrum communication systems and the devel-
opment of new mathematical methods for their analysis provided the motivation to
undertake this new edition of the book. This edition is intended to enable readers
to understand the current state-of-the-art in this field ...
The ability to analyze system or circuit behavior is one of the key requirements for
successful design. To put an idea to work, a designer needs both the knowledge
and tools for analyzing the behavior of that new system architecture or that experi-
mental circuit topology. Design decisions are groun ...
In this first part of the book the Vienna Link Level (LL) Simulators are described.
The first chapter provides basics of LL simulations, introduces the most common
variables and parameters as well as the transceiver structures that are applied in
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and Long-Term Evolution-Adv ...
