The book you’re holding, physically or electronically, is the result of a very interesting, challenging but also rewarding research project. The research was carried out in different contexts and cooperations but it was centered around the following question: how can we make the RF transmitters of ...

Mobile communication has gained significant importance in today’s society. As of 2010, the number of mobile phone subscribers has surpassed 5 billion [ABI10], and the global annual mobile revenue is soon expected to top $1 trillion [Inf10]. While these numbers appear promising for mobile operators ...

How will future generations refer to our times? Will it be known as one of space exploration, genetics, atomic energy or computing? Possibly, but I think it is more likely to be ‘The age of communications’. Not since printed books and newspapers were first introduced has there been such an explosi ...

This book presents, in a unitary and novel perspective, some of the research work the authors have carried out over the last decade, along with several collaborators and students. The roots of this book can be traced back to the design of adaptive sequence detection algorithms for channels with para ...

Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks have become mainstream over the last few years. What started out as cable replacement for static desktops in indoor networks has been extended to fully mobile broadband applications involving moving vehicles, high-speed trains, and even airplanes. 

The telecommunications industry is undoubtedly in a period of radical change with the advent of mobile broadband radio access and the rapid convergence of Internet and mobile services. Some of these changes have been enabled by a fundamental shift in the underlying technologies; mobile networks are ...

The objective of this book is to allow the reader to predict the received signal power produced by a particular radio transmitter. The first two chapters examine propagation in free space for point-to-point and point-to-area transmission, respectively. This is combined with a dis- cussion regarding ...

Wireless technologies like GSM, UMTS, LTE, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth have revolutionized the way we communicate by making services like telephony and Internet access available anytime and from almost anywhere. Today, a great variety of technical publications offer background information about these ...

The writing of this book was prompted by two main developments in wireless communications in the past decade. First is the huge surge of research activities in physical-layer wireless communication theory. While this has been a subject of study since the 60’s, recent developments in the field, such ...

This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor- ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs, colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the ...
