In recent years, the research and developments in the area of RF and microwave
technologies have progressed significantly due to the growing demand for applica-
bility in wireless communication technologies. Starting from 1992, wireless com-
munication technologies have become quite mature. In the m ...
Multi-carrier modulation‚ Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi-
plexing (OFDM) particularly‚ has been successfully applied to
a wide variety of digital communications applications over the past
several years. Although OFDM has been chosen as the physical layer
standard for a diversity of important ...
Ever since ancient times, people continuously have devised new techniques and
technologies for communicating their ideas, needs, and desires to others. Thus,
many forms of increasingly complex communication systems have appeared
over the years. The basic motivations behind each new one were to impro ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
It was only a few years ago that “ubiquitous connectivity” was recognized as the future of
wireless communication systems. In the era of ubiquitous connectivity, it was expected that
the broadband mobile Internet experience would be pervasive, and seamless connectivity on
a global scale would be n ...
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 ...
