This book is about multipoint cooperative communication, a key technology to
overcome the long-standing problem of limited transmission rate caused by inter-
point interference. However, the multipoint cooperative communication is not an
isolated technology. Instead, it covers a vast range of research areas such as the
multiple-input multiple-outputsystem, the relay network, channel state information
issues, inter-point radio resource management operations, coordinated or joint
transmissions, etc. We suppose that any attempt trying to thoroughly analyze the
multipoint cooperative communication technology might end up working on a
cyclopedia for modern communication systems and easily get lost in discussing all
kinds of cooperative communication schemes as well as the associated models and
their variations.
In the past few decades, a technological revolution has occurred that has changed
the way we live in dramatic ways. This technological revolution is the result of
the emergence and evolution of a wide variety of new wireless networking tech-
nologies. Now people using these technologies are able to access the network and
control many applications at will with their handheld devices anywhere, anytime.
Although these technologies have made a long lasting impact in the revolution, it
has also opened up various challenging issues which are yet to be resolved to make
them more efficient and cost-effective.
Thanks for purchasing the RFI Pocket Guide. The
purpose of this guide to help you identify, locate
and resolve radio frequency interference (RFI). It
includes some basic theory and measurement
techniques and there are a number of handy
references, tables, and equations that you may
find useful. The focus is to assist both amateur
radio operators, as well as commercial broadcast
and communications engineers, in resolving a
variety of common interference issues.
This book emphasis on multi-user MIMO communication.
It covers a collection of the major topics and issues
in multi-user MIMO systems.
Recent Trends in Multi-user MIMO Communications provides
a tutorial overview of the latest technologies and
research keys related to multi-user communication.
When thinking about mobile radio engineers there is a tendency to
assume that the engineering function relates solely to the technical
aspects of the network, such as the equipment design or the network
design. That is certainly a key part of the role of a mobile radio engineer.
However,increasinglyengineersarerequiredtointeractwithprofession-
als from other divisions. The “complete wireless professional” should
know about mobile networks; fixed networks; other types of mobile
systems; regulatory and government policy; the requirements of the
users; and financial, legal, and marketing issues.
This book addresses the issues on the development of next generation CDMA technologies and
contains a lot of information on the subject from both the open literature and my own research
activities in the last fifteen years.
The digital dilemma: Telecoms fi rms prepare for
the future is an Economist Intelligence Unit
(EIU) report commissioned by WIPRO. The report
strives to identify the key issues that companies
within the telecoms sector are facing as they
attempt to reshape their businesses to compete
in a more digitised world.
This book paves the path toward fourth generation (4G) mobile communica-
tion by introducing mobility in heterogeneous IP networks with both third
generation (3G) and wireless local area networks (WLANs), which is seen as
one of the central issues in the becoming 4G of telecommunications networks
and systems. This book presents a thorough overview of 3G networks and
standards and discusses interworking and handover mechanisms between
WLANs and the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS).
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) phenomena have been known to mankind since Thales of
Miletus in approximately 600 B.C.E. noticed the attraction of strands of hay to amber.
Two thousand six hundred years have passed and the quest to obtain a better under-
standing of electrostatics and ESD phenomenon continues. Today, the manufacturing
of microelectronics has continued the interest in the field of electrostatic phenomenon
spanning factory issues, tooling, materials, and the microelectronic industry
The phenomenon of electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been known for a long time, but
recently a growing interest has been observed in ESD in radio frequency (RF) technology
and ESD issues in RF applications.
