Exploring C++ uses a series of self–directed lessons to divide C++ into bite–sized chunks that you can digest as rapidly as you can swallow them. The book assumes only a basic understanding of fundamental programming concepts (variables, functions, expressions, statements) and requires no prior knowledge of C or any other particular language. It reduces the usually considerable complexity of C++.
The included lessons allow you to learn by doing, as a participant of an interactive education session. You’ll master each step in a one sitting before you proceed to the next. Author Ray Lischner has designed questions to promote learning new material. And by responding to questions throughout the text, youll be engaged every step of the way.
It a adaptive filtering book, which consist of Wiener filter, LMS, NLMS and RLS algorithms and lots of matlab implementation. It s so practical for adaptive filtering algorithms.
This book is intended as a thorough introduction to both PCI and PCI-X. Is as a “companion” to the specifications. If you’re designing boards or systems using offthe-shelf PCI interface silicon, this book together with the silicon vendor’s data sheets should be sufficient for your needs. On the other hand, if your goal is to design PCI silicon, motherboards or backplanes, you will undoubtedly need to reference the specifications for additional detail.
The goal of this thesis is the development of traffic engineering rules for cellular packet
radio networks based on GPRS and EDGE. They are based on traffic models for typical
mobile applications. Load generators, representing these traffic models, are developed
and integrated into a simulation environment with the prototypical implementation of
the EGPRS protocols and models for the radio channel, which were also developed in
the framework of this thesis. With this simulation tool a comprehensive performance
evaluation is carried out that leads to the traffic engineering rules.
This book is intended to be a complete and useful reference to the unified modeling language (UML) for the developer,architect,project manager,sysetem engineer,programmer,analyst,contracting officer,customer,and anyone else who needs to specify,design,build,or understand complex software system.
At present, there is a strong worldwide push toward bringing fiber closer to indi-
vidual homes and businesses. Fiber-to-the-Home/Business (FTTH/B) or close to it
networks are poised to become the next major success story for optical fiber com-
munications. In fact, FTTH connections are currently experiencing double-digit or
even higher growth rates, e.g., in the United States the annual growth rate was 112%
between September 2006 and September 2007, and their presence can add value of
U.S. $4,000–15,000 to the selling price of a home.
When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been
working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for MIMO
wireless communications. Yet, this book should constitute more than a simple combination of these
two domains. It hopefully conveys our integrated understanding of MIMO, which results from endless
controversial discussions on various multi-antenna related issues, as well as various interactions with
numerous colleagues. Obviously, this area of technology is so large that it is beyond our aim to cover all
aspects in details. Rather, our goal is to provide researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students with
a comprehensive coverage of radio propagation models and space–time signal processing techniques
for multi-antenna, multi-user and multi-cell networks.
Since the first edition of the book was published, the field of modeling and simulation of
communication systems has grown and matured in many ways, and the use of simulation as a
day-to-day tool is now even more common practice. Many new modeling and simulation
approaches have been developed in the recent years, many more commercial simulation
packages are available, and the evolution of powerful general mathematical applications
packages has provided still more options for computer-aided design and analysis. With the
current interest in digital mobile communications, a primary area of application of modeling
and simulation is now to wireless systems of a different flavor than the traditional ones.
In this thesis several asp ects of space-time pro cessing and equalization for wire-
less communications are treated. We discuss several di?erent metho ds of improv-
ing estimates of space-time channels, such as temp oral parametrization, spatial
parametrization, reduced rank channel estimation, b o otstrap channel estimation,
and joint estimation of an FIR channel and an AR noise mo del. In wireless commu-
nication the signal is often sub ject to intersymb ol interference as well as interfer-
ence from other users.
Digital radios have undergone an astonishing evolution in the last century. Born as a set of simple and
power-hungry electrical and electromechanical devices for low data rate transmission of telegraph data
in the Marconi age, they have transformed, thanks to substantial advances in electronic technology,
into a set of small, reliable and sophisticated integrated devices supporting broadband multimedia
communications. This, however, would not have been possible unless significant progress had been
made in recent decades in the field of signal processing algorithms for baseband and passband signals.
In fact, the core of any modern digital radio consists of a set of algorithms running over programmable
electronic hardware. This book stems from the research and teaching activities of its co-authors in
the field of algorithmic techniques for wireless communications. A huge body of technical literature
has accumulated in the last four decades in this area, and an extensive coverage of all its important
aspects in a single textbook is impossible. For this reason, we have selected a few important topics
and, for ease of reading, organized them into two parts.
