Mobile communication has gained significant importance in today’s society. As
of 2010, the number of mobile phone subscribers has surpassed 5 billion [ABI10],
and the global annual mobile revenue is soon expected to top $1 trillion [Inf10].
While these numbers appear promising for mobile operators ...
In the preparation of this book, our objective was to provide an advanced understanding of emerging
telecommunications systems, their significance, and the anticipated role these systems will play in the

genstern and Von Neumann (1944). To a lesser extent, it has had an impact on
biology (with the development of evolutionarygames) and on road traffic Engi-
ne ...
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 ...

Today, our everyday life is almost impossible to detach
from the influence of wireless mobile communication
technologies. This global trend is growing exponentially, and
the mobile-only data traffic is expected to exceed stationary
data traffic. However, for further development of mobile
communicati ...
Due to the asymmetry between the amount of data traffic in the downlink and
uplink direction of nowadays and future wireless networks, a proper design of the
transceivers in the broadcast channel is inevitable in order to satisfy the users’
demands on data rate and transmission quality. This book d ...
The insinuation of telecommunications into the daily fabric of our lives has been
arguably the most important and surprising development of the last 25 years. Before
this revolution, telephone service and its place in our lives had been largely stable
for more than a generation. The growth was, so t ...
In case you haven’t noticed, multimedia communication over IP and wireless net-
works is exploding. Applications such as BitTorrent, used primarily for video
downloads, now take up the lion’s share of all traffic on the Internet. Music file
sharing, once on the legal cutting edge of massive copyri ...
