In the past few decades, a technological revolution has occurred that has changed
the way we live in dramatic ways. This technological revolution is the result of
the emergence and evolution of a wide variety of new wireless networking tech-
nologies. Now people using these technologies are able to ...
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 ...
The purpose of this book is to introduce the concept of the Multiple Input Multiple Output
(MIMO) radio channel, which is an intelligent communication method based upon using
multiple antennas. The book opens by explaining MIMO in layman’s terms to help stu-
dents and people in industry working in ...
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 ...
It is more than a decade since GSM was first commercially available. After some unexpected delay, it
seems that finally UMTS is here to stay as a 3G system standardised by 3GPP, at least for another ten
years. UMTS will enable multi-service, multi-rate and flexible IP native-based mobile technologie ...
Software defined radio (SDR) is an exciting new field for the wireless indus-
try; it is gaining momentum and beginning to be included in commercial
and defense products. The technology offers the potential to revolutionize
the way radios are designed, manufactured, deployed, and used. SDR prom-
ise ...
A wireless communication network can be viewed as a collection of nodes, located in some domain, which
can in turn be transmitters or receivers (depending on the network considered, nodes may be mobile users,
base stations in a cellular network, access points of a WiFi mesh etc.). At a given time, s ...
Before I can present design concepts or tactical wireless communications and network
challenges, I feel the need to mention the challenges of writing for a field where some
information is not available for public domain and cannot be included in this book’s context.
Another challenge is the use of ...
In this book we focus on the basic signal processing that underlies current and
future ultra wideband systems. By looking at signal processing in this way we
hope this text will be useful even as UWB applications mature and change or
regulations regarding ultra wideband systems are modified. The cur ...
The advent of modern wireless devices, such as smart phones and MID 1 terminals,
has revolutionized the way people think of personal connectivity. Such devices
encompass multiple applications ranging from voice and video to high-speed data
transfer via wireless networks. The voracious appetite of tw ...
