In recent years large scientific interest has been
devoted to joint data decoding and parameter estimation
techniques. In this paper, iterative turbo decoding joint
to channel frequency and phase estimation is proposed.
The phase and frequency estimator is embedded into the
structure of the turbo decoder itself, taking into consideration
both turbo interleaving and puncturing. Results
show that the proposed technique outperforms conventional
approaches both in terms of detection capabilities and
implementation complexity.
C++ XML is a book exclusively devoted to the pow er and complexities of integrating XML
standards into C++. As a developer,this is a book you cannot miss. C++ XML addresses all major
standards,toolkits,and types of applications dealing with XML as a format for representing and
exchanging data,as well as XML behavior,from a C++ standpoint. It explains the implementation
of applications and reusuable frameworks for all major XML purposes exclusively using C/C++
parsers and toolkits, such as expat,Xerces,Xalan,libxml2,and Microsoft’s MSXML.
This thesis is devoted to several efficient VLSI architecture design issues in errorcorrecting
coding, including finite field arithmetic, (Generalized) Low-Density Parity-
Check (LDPC) codes, and Reed-Solomon codes.
對應於codeworker的說明文檔；CodeWorker is a versatile Open Source (GNU Lesser General Public License) parsing tool and a source code generator devoted to generative programming.
This book was conceived in such a special way. From our experience, and despite the
increasing interest that we perceived amongst the research community in HAPS,
there was not any book in the market entirely devoted to HAPS. We could only find
some satellite communications books including only fragments related to HAPS,
covering the ‘generalities’. A need for a reference book which could highlight state-
of-the-art HAPS-related topics was therefore envisaged. Moreover, most of the
information related to HAPS could only be found in technical reports, official
recommendations, conference proceedings and journal papers.
Since the advent of optical communications, a great technological effort has
been devoted to the exploitation of the huge bandwidth of optical fibers. Start-
ing from a few Mb/s single channel systems, a fast and constant technological
development has led to the actual 10 Gb/s per channel dense wavelength di-
vision multiplexing (DWDM) systems, with dozens of channels on a single
fiber. Transmitters and receivers are now ready for 40 Gb/s, whereas hundreds
of channels can be simultaneously amplified by optical amplifiers.
The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique provides higher bit rates
and better reliability in wireless systems. The efficient design of RF transceivers
has a vital impact on the implementation of this technique. This first book is com-
pletely devoted to RF transceiver design for MIMO communications. The book
covers the most recent research in practical design and applications and can be
an important resource for graduate students, wireless designers, and practical
engineers.
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS , THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE WE COULDN ’ T FIND ONE LIKE IT . We
needed something to hand to all of those people who have come to us asking for “a good
book to read on RFID.” When we looked for candidates we found some great books, but
most were aimed at electrical engineers or top-level managers, with very little for those of
us who are in between. This book is for developers, system and software architects, and
project managers, as well as students and professionals in all of the industries impacted by
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) who want to understand how this technology
works. As the title suggests, this book is about RFID in general and not just the most
recent developments; however, because so much is going on in the area of RFID for the
supply chain and especially the Electronic Product Code (EPC), we have devoted consider-
able space to these topics. Regardless of the type of RFID work you may be doing, we
think you will find something useful here.
This introductory chapter is devoted to reviewing the fundamental ideas of
control from a multivariable point of view. In some cases, the mathematics
and operations on systems (modelling, pole placement, etc.), as previously
treated in introductory courses and textbooks, convey to the readers an un-
realistic image of systems engineering. The simplifying assumptions, simple
examples and “perfect” model set-up usually used in these scenarios present
the control problem as a pure mathematical problem, sometimes losing the
physical meaning of the involved concepts and operations. We try to empha-
sise the engineering implication of some of these concepts and, before entering
into a detailed treatment of the different topics, a general qualitative overview
is provided in this chapter.
