To meet the future demand for huge traffic volume of wireless data service, the research on the fifth generation
(5G) mobile communication systems has been undertaken in recent years. It is expected that the spectral and energy
efficiencies in 5G mobile communication systems should be ten-fold highe ...
During the 400 days and nights before we finalized this book on January 1, 2012,
we saw the sunset decorated by the raindrop, and were accompanied by the flowers
blooming to withering. All those past memories are engraved on our hearts and will
last eternally, cementing the most profound friendship ...
In the nineteenth century, scientists, mathematician, engineers and innovators started
investigating electromagnetism. The theory that underpins wireless communications was
formed by Maxwell. Early demonstrations took place by Hertz, Tesla and others. Marconi
demonstrated the first wireless transmis ...
Fordecades,microwavelineofsight(LOS)linkshavebeenoneofthebasictechnolo-
gies used to build telephone networks. Until 1980, the fast rollout of high capacity
transport networks and deployment of links in areas with challenging geographic
characteristics could not be understood without this technology ...
This book presents millimeter wave communication system design and analysis at the
level to produce an understanding of the interaction between a wireless system and its
front end so that the overall performance can be predicted. Gigabit wireless commu-
nications require a considerable amount of ban ...
When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, 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-OFDM is a key technology for next-generation cellular communications (3GPP-LTE,
Mobile WiMAX, IMT-Advanced) as well as wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n),
wireless PAN (MB-OFDM), and broadcasting (DAB, DVB, DMB). This book provides a
comprehensive introduction to the basic theory and pra ...
Mobile multimedia communication is increasingly in demand because of the basic need to communi-
cate at any time, anywhere, using any technology. In addition, to voice communication, people have a
desire to access a range of other services that comprise multimedia elements—text, image, animation,
h ...
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 ...
