The demand for greater flexibility both in bandwidth allocation as well as in geographical terms has opened up the new application area of Wireless Local Loops (WLL). WLL provide a telephone system where subscribers are connected to the Public Switches Telephone Network (PSTN) using radio signals rather than copper wire for part or all of the...
GPRS is now an established technology allowing packet-data access to the internet and intranets and it is expected that consumer demand for the service will continue to increase, especially when the higher data rates are made available.
The GPRS technology is also carried forward to the 3G systems and it is vital that engineers working in...
Digital Television is as an authoritative and complete overview that describes the technology of digital television broadcasting. It gives you a thorough technical description of the underlying principles of the DVB standard and the various steps of signal processing. Also included is a complete technical glossary of terms, abbreviations, and...
Functional Verification Coverage Measurement and Analysis addresses the subject of coverage measurement and analysis, a means of quantitatively assessing functional verification progress. In the absence of this process, design verification engineers (and their management) are left guessing whether or not they have completed...
Whether you are a network manager tasked with providing local wireless access to corporate business systems, or a home-based user, keen to optimize your data communications network, security will be the issue uppermost in your mind.
Wireless LANs are becoming ubiquitous. From hotel lobbies to Starbucks coffee shops, from...
Multimedia services involve processing, transmission and retrieval of multiple forms of information. Multimedia services have gained momentum in the past few years due to the easy availability of computing power and storage media. Society is demanding human-like intelligent behaviour, such as adaptation and generalization, from machines every day....
We can understand the multimedia technology as a digital integration of
texts, graphics, audio, animation, still images and motion video in a way that
provides a high level of personal interaction and control to individual users.
The evolution of multimedia is a convergence of the mentioned media types to
a unique system. Before the...
Multi-Gigabit Transmission over Multimode Optical Fibre presents a system design approach to single-wavelength laser-based multimode optical fibre transmission systems, operating at multi-gigabit data rates.
The first part of the book focuses on theoretical issues, covering close-form mathematical modelling of multimode fibre...
DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems is focused on digital signal processing strategies for improving information access, command and control, and communications for in-vehicle environments. It is expected that the next generation of human-to-vehicle interfaces will incorporate speech, video/image, and wireless communication modalities to provide...
The aim of this book is to give a broad overview of the TLM (Transmission Line Matrix) method, which is one of the “time-domain numerical methods”. These methods are reputed for their significant reliance on computer resources. However, they have the advantage of being highly general.
Next-generation architectures for survivable networks.
"Always on" information networks must automatically reroute around virtually any problem-but conventional, redundant ring architectures are too inefficient and inflexible. The solution: mesh-based networks that will be just as survivable-and far more...
The importance of quality of service (QoS) has risen with the recent evolution of telecommunication networks, which are characterised by a great heterogeneity. While many applications require a specific level of assurance from the network; communication networks are characterized by different service providers, transmission means and implementer...
