With increasingly low-cost and power-efficient RF electronics demanded by today's wireless communication systems, it is essential to keep up to speed with new developments. This book presents key advances in the field that you need to know about and emerging patterns in large-signal measurement techniques, modeling and nonlinear circuit...
There are two main factors driving increased usage of handheld devices in the enterprise. The first is the ever-decreasing cost of hardware. In the week that I write this, Dell is launching its first Pocket PC at a price that is intended to undercut rivals, Hewlett Packard has announced new low-end and high-end iPaqs, and...
Multi-Carrier and Spread Spectrum Systems describes and analyses the basic concepts of the combination of multi-carrier transmission with spread spectrum (MC-SS). The various architectures and the different detection strategies are examined in some depth. Techniques for capacity and flexibility enhancement of multi-carrier systems such as...
This text provides a comprehensive look at computer networking from the point of view of the network administrator. It guides readers from an entry-level knowledge in computer networks to advanced concepts in Ethernet networks; router configuration; TCP/IP networks; local-, campus-, and wide-area network configuration; network security; optical...
THE MOST PRECISE, CONCISE, AND AUTHORITATIVE WIRELESS REFERENCE AVAILABLE!
In today’s information-rich environment, a business operating without a cogent wireless communications strategy is destined for failure. That’s why, if designing, maintaining, or upgrading wireless and mobile communications systems...
This book concentrates on three main challenges of video coding for mobile communications: higher coding efficiency, reduced computational complexity, and improved error resilience. Unlike other high level books and articles that focus on individual aspects in this field, this book has been designed as a quick, easy, and practical introduction to...
The Software Communications Architecture (SCA) establishes an implementation-independent framework for the development of Joint Tactical Radio System software configurable radios. It specifies the Operating Environment, services and interfaces that applications use.
This lecture provides an introduction to the problem of managing the energy demand of mobile devices. Reducing energy consumption, primarily with the goal of extending the lifetime of battery-powered devices, has emerged as a fundamental challenge in mobile computing and wireless communication. The focus of this lecture is on a systems approach...
Event-based distributed systems are playing an ever increasing role in
areas such as enterprise management, information dissemination, finance,
environmental monitoring and geo-spatial systems. Event-based processing
originated with the introduction of Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules to
database systems in the 1980s. Since then,...
The third generation (3G) cellular system UMTS is advanced, optimised and complex. The many existing books on UMTS attempt to explain all the intricacies of the system and as a result are large and equally complex. This book takes a different approach and explains UMTS in a concise, clear and readily understandable style. Written by a...
The content has been carefully designed to meet the requirements of first and second year students of electronic engineering, communications engineering and telecommunications, following full honours degree programs or two-year courses including HNC/HND.
A companion website includes interactive spreadsheets to download. ...
Cognitive radio technology is a smarter, faster, and more efficient way to transmit information to and from fixed, mobile, other wireless communication devices. Cognitive radio builds upon software-defined radio technology. A cognitive radio system is 'aware' of its operating environment and automatically adjusts itself to maintain desired...
