Mobile wireless communications are in constant evolution due to the continu-
ously increasing requirements and expectations of both users and operators.
Mass multimedia* services have been for a long time expected to generate a large
amount of data traffic in future wireless networks [1]. Mass multi ...
Since the advent of optical communications, a great technological effort has
been devoted to the exploitation of the huge bandwidth of optical fibers. Start-
ing from a few Mb/s single channel systems, a fast and constant technological
development has led to the actual 10 Gb/s per channel dense wave ...
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 ...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been shown to be
an effective technique to combat multipath fading in wireless channels. It
has been and is going to be used in various wireless communication systems.
This book gives a comprehensive introduction on the theory and practice ...
Performance analysis belongs to the domain of applied mathematics. The
major domain of application in this book concerns telecommunications sys-
tems and networks. We will mainly use stochastic analysis and probability
theory to address problems in the performance evaluation of telecommuni-
cations ...
This book is intended for the graduate or advanced undergraduate
engineer. The primary motivation for developing the text was to present a
complete tutorial of phase-locked loops with a consistent notation. I believe
this is critical for the practicing engineer who uses the text as a self-study
guid ...
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 ...
Wireless communications is rapidly becoming one of the ubiquitous technological
underpinnings of modern society (such as electric power, fossil fuels, automobiles,
etc.).Fewpeoplethinkaboutthetechnologywithintheirmobilephones,remotecontrols,

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 ...
The investigation of the propagation channel is becoming more and more important in mod-
ern wireless communication. The demand for spectral efficiency motivates exploitation of
all channels that can possibly be used for communications. Nowadays, a common trend for
designing physical layer algorithm ...
