For over a hundred years of modern telecommunication history, public telephone communication has taken place over some form of a circuit switch transmission, which has evolved in its own right from analog to digital and from fixed to mobile networks. Now with the coming of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) technology, which merges the Internet world...

This book explores the different strategies regarding limited feedback information. The book analyzes the impact of quantization and the delay of CSI on the performance. The author shows the effect of the reduced feedback information and gives an overview about the feedback strategies in the standards. This volume presents theoretical...

The technological progress in multi-carrier (MC) modulation led orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to become an important part of beyond 3G cellular mobile communication standards, including LTE and WiMAX. In addition, the flexibility offered by the spread spectrum (SS) and time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques motivated...

Since their introduction in the mid-1960s, satellite communications have grown from a futuristic experiment into an integral part of today’s "wired world." Satellite communications are at the core of a global,...

In order to maintain good network performance, mechanisms must be provided to prevent the network from being congested for any significant period of time. Michael Welzl describes the background and concepts of...

Written as an authoritative introduction, this text describes the technology of digital television broadcasting. It gives a thorough technical description of the underlying principles of the DVB standard following the logical progression of signal processing steps, as well as COFDM modulation, source and channel coding, MPEG compression and...
