This book examines the technologies underlying the compression and trans-
mission of digital video sequences over networking platforms. The incorporated
study covers a large spectrum of topics related to compressed video communica-
tions. It presents to readers a comprehensive and structured analysi ...
This chapter introduces concepts on cooperating objects and wireless sensor net-
works that will be used in the following chapters. It also introduces the Embedded
WiSeNts Coordination Action. Finally, it presents an overview of the book and the
relations between the following chapters.
This book presents, in a unitary and novel perspective, some of the research work
the authors have carried out over the last decade, along with several collaborators and
students. The roots of this book can be traced back to the design of adaptive sequence
detection algorithms for channels with para ...
This book presents millimeter wave communication system design and analysis at the
level to produce an understanding of the interaction between a wireless system and its
front end so that the overall performance can be predicted. Gigabit wireless commu-
nications require a considerable amount of ban ...
Wireless is one of the most rapidly developing technologies in our time, with dazzling
new products and services emerging on an almost daily basis. These developments present
enormous challenges for communications engineers, as the demand for increased wireless
capacity grows explosively. Indeed, th ...
This books presents the research work of COST 273 Towards Mobile Broadband Multimedia
Networks, hence, it reports on the work performed and on the results achieved within the project
by its participants. The material presented here corresponds to the results obtained in four years
of collaborative w ...
This paper presents a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based speech
enhancement method, aiming at reducing non-stationary noise from speech
signals. The system is based on the assumption that the speech and the noise
are additive and uncorrelated. Cepstral features are used to extract statistical
informati ...
This chapter provides extensive coverage of existing mobile wireless technologies. Much of the
emphasis is on the highly anticipated 3G cellular networks and widely deployed wireless local
area networks (LANs), as the next-generation smart phones are likely to offer at least these two
types of conne ...
Describing the relevant detection and estimation theory, this detailed guide provides
the background knowledge needed to tackle the design of practical WLAN positioning
systems. It sets out key system-level challenges and design considerations in increasing
positioningaccuracyandreducingcomputationa ...
This book paves the path toward fourth generation (4G) mobile communica-
tion by introducing mobility in heterogeneous IP networks with both third
generation (3G) and wireless local area networks (WLANs), which is seen as
one of the central issues in the becoming 4G of telecommunications networks
an ...
