The 4.0 kbit/s speech codec described in this paper is based on a
Frequency Domain Interpolative (FDI) coding technique, which
belongs to the class of prototype waveform Interpolation (PWI)
coding techniques. The codec also has an integrated voice
activity detector (VAD) and a noise reduction capabi ...
Without conceding a blemish in the first edition, I think I had best come clean
and admit that I embarked on a second edition largely to adopt a more geometric
approach to the detection of signals in white Gaussian noise. Equally rigorous, yet
more intuitive, this approach is not only student-friend ...
Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising technology for maximizing the utiliza-
tion of the limited radio bandwidth while accommodating the increasing amount of
services and applications in wireless networks. A cognitive radio (CR) transceiver
is able to adapt to the dynamic radio environment and ...
In this paper we revisit hybrid analog-digital precoding systems with emphasis on their modelling
and radio-frequency (RF) losses, to realistically evaluate their benefits in 5G system implementations.
For this, we decompose the analog beamforming networks (ABFN) as a bank of commonly used RF
compon ...
This book addresses two aspects of network operation quality; namely, resource
management and fault management.
Network operation quality is among the functions to be fulfilled in order to offer
quality of service, QoS, to the end user. It is characterized by four parameters:
– packet loss;
– dela ...
In this first part of the book the Vienna Link Level (LL) Simulators are described.
The first chapter provides basics of LL simulations, introduces the most common
variables and parameters as well as the transceiver structures that are applied in
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and Long-Term Evolution-Adv ...
Electricity has been chosen as the most convenient and useful form of energy, due
to its ease of transportation over large distances and easy conversion to other
energy forms. The biggest inconvenience with electricity is that it cannot be stored
and must be utilized at the moment of generation. The ...
Since the original publication of Manual 74 in 1991, and the preceding
“Guidelines for Transmission Line Structural Loading” in 1984, the
understanding of structural loadings on transmission line structures has
broadened signifi cantly. However, improvements in computational capa-
bility have enab ...
