While teaching classes on digital transmission and mobile communications for
undergraduate and graduate students, I was wondering if it would be possible to
write a book capable of giving them some insight about the practical meaning of the
concepts, beyond the mathematics; the same insight that exp ...
The rapid growth in mobile communications has led to an increasing demand for wide-
band high data rate communications services. In recent years, Distributed Antenna
Systems (DAS) has emerged as a promising candidate for future (beyond 3G or 4G)
mobile communications, as illustrated by projects such ...
When joining Siemens in 2001, I also extended my research interest towards radio net-
work planning methodologies. This area of research brought together my personal interest
in mobile communications and in the design of efficient algorithms and data structures.
Between 2001 and 2003, I participated ...
During the past two decades there has been a substantial growth in research in
wireless communications. The number of journals published from various parts of
the world catering to the research community has grown exponentially. Despite
such a growth, the engineering community still needs more infor ...
Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) is an effective alternative technology to
meet the Next Generation Network (NGN) demands as well as highly secured (mili-
tary) communications. FSOC includes various advantages like last mile access, easy
installation, free of Electro Magnetic Interference (EM ...
The writing of this book was prompted by two main developments in wireless
communications in the past decade. First is the huge surge of research activities in
physical-layer wireless communication theory. While this has been a subject of study
since the 60’s, recent developments in the field, such ...
Providing QoS while optimizing the LTE network in a cost efficient manner is
very challenging. Thus, radio scheduling is one of the most important functions
in mobile broadband networks. The design of a mobile network radio scheduler
holds several objectives that need to be satisfied, for example: t ...
Currently, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry sector
accounts for about 2–6% of the energy consumption worldwide, and a significant por-
tion of this is contributed by the wireless and mobile communications industry. With
the proliferation of wireless data applications, wi ...
Cellular communications is one of the fastest growing and most challenging telecom-
munication applications ever. Today, it represents a large and continuously increasing
percentage of all new telephone subscribers around the world. In the long term,
cellular digital technology may become the univer ...
