Wireless technologies like GSM, UMTS, LTE, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth have revolu-
tionized the way we communicate and exchange data by making services like telephony and
Internet access available anytime and from almost anywhere. Today, a great variety of techni-
cal publications offer background i ...
The last decade proved to be hugely successful for the mobile communications industry,
characterised by continued and rapid growth in demand, spurred on by new technological
advances and innovative marketing techniques. Of course, when we refer to mobile commu-
nications, we tend to implicitly refer ...
Never have telecommunications operations and network management been so
important. Never has it been more important to move away from practices that date
back to the very beginning of the telecommunications industry. Building and con-
necting systems internally at low cost, on an as - needed basis, ...
The telecommunications industry has seen a rapid boost within the last decade. New realities
and visions of functionalities in various telecommunications networks have brought forward the
concept of next-generation networks (NGNs). The competitions among operators for support-
ing various services, ...
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 ...
An understanding of the policies, regulations, standards and techniques of radio spectrum
management is useful to those who manage and administrate it, to operators, to equipment
providers and to the users of wireless communication (i.e., all of us). For many years the author
has been deeply involve ...
Commoditization is a serious threat to the telecommunications industry. Most CSPs offer
similar services at rates designed to win what has become a price war. As a result, many
face decreasing margins and difficulty sustaining differentiation based on prices or
products alone. On top of commoditizat ...
Driven by the desire to boost the quality of service of wireless systems closer to that afforded
by wireline systems, space-time processing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
wireless communications research has drawn remarkable interest in recent years. Excit-
ing theoretical advances, compl ...
