The book discusses modern channel coding techniques for wireless communications such as turbo codes, low parity check codes (LDPC), space-time coding, Reed Solomon (RS) codes and convolutional codes. Many illustrative examples are included in each chapter for easy understanding of the coding techniques. The text is integrated with...
Ultrawideband (UWB) communication systems offer an unprecedented opportunity to impact the future communication world. The enormous available bandwidth, the wide scope of the data rate / range trade-off, as well as the potential for very low-cost operation leading to pervasive usage, all present a unique opportunity for UWB systems to impact the...
This book offers an unified treatment of the problems solved by publish/subscribe, how to design and implement the solutions
In this book, the author provides an insight into the publish/subscribe technology including the design, implementation, and evaluation of new systems based on the technology. The book also...
Microcontrollers are single-chip computers consisting of CPU (central processing unit), data and program memory, serial and parallel I/O (input/output), timers, external and internal interrupts, all integrated into a single chip that can be purchased for as little as $2.00. Microcontrollers are intelligent electronic devices used to control and...
Understand the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework, the standard for the creation, delivery and consumption of multimedia.
This text is the comprehensive guide to MPEG-21, the technology that provides an open framework for multimedia applications. Whereas previous MPEG standards defined compression techniques, MPEG-21...
Over the last 20 years, approaches to designing speech and language processing algorithms have moved from methods based on linguistics and speech science to data-driven pattern recognition techniques. These techniques have been the focus of intense, fast-moving research and have contributed to significant advances in this field. ...
At recent major international conferences on wireless communications, there have been several sessions on beyond third generation (3G) or fourth generation (4G) mobile communications systems, where modulation/demodulation and multiplexing/multiple access schemes related to multicarrier techniques have drawn a lot of attention....
"...very well written...very recommendable for students, researchers as well as practitioners interested in signal processing and communications." - Stefan Reh, Carnegie Mellon University
"...it is well written, providing the intended readership with tools and methods to study and solve problems concerning random...
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is now an established technique for delivering better software faster. TDD is based on a simple idea: Write tests for your code before you write the code itself. However, this "simple" idea takes skill and judgment to do well. Now there's a practical guide to TDD that takes you beyond...
Presenting the state of the art in broadband wireless access technology, this unique resource methodically presents the fundamentals of OFDM(A) technology--the cornerstone of the next generation of broadband wireless access offerings. In addition, this book succinctly depicts the future landscape of mobile broadband wireless access and the...
With all the fantastic Cisco documentation available online, why does the world of
UCCE need this book? UCCE is such a big topic that it would be easy to think that it is
possible to try and cover absolutely everything. Unfortunately, this would turn this book
into nothing more than a product reference manual that could potentially be...
An Introduction to LTE explains the technology used by 3GPP Long Term Evolution. The book covers the whole of LTE, both the techniques used for radio communication between the base station and the mobile phone, and the techniques used for signalling communication and data transport in the evolved packet core. It avoids unnecessary...
