Without conceding a blemish in the first edition, I think I had best come clean and admit that I embarked on a second edition largely to adopt a more geometric approach to the detection of signals in white Gaussian noise. Equally rigorous, yet more intuitive, this approach is not only student-friend ...

Communication between various devices makes it possible to pro- vide unique and innovative services. Although this interdevice com- munication is a very powerful mechanism, it is also a complex and clumsy mechanism, leading to a lot of complexity in present day systems. This not only makes networkin ...

Relaying techniques, in which a source node communicates to a destination node with the help of a relay, have been proposed as a cost-effective solution to address the increasing demand for high data rates and reliable services over the air. As such, it is crucial to design relay systems that are ab ...

The past two decades have witnessed the introduction and unprecedented growth of cellular mobile telephony and wireless communications. Numerous wireless access technologies have been introduced in the mobile communications market. While some have flourished and formed the basis of successful manufa ...

Optical communication technology has been extensively developed over the last 50 years, since the proposed idea by Kao and Hockham [1]. However, only during the last 15 years have the concepts of communication foundation, that is, the modulation and demodulation techniques, been applied. This is pos ...

The continued reduction of integrated circuit feature sizes and commensurate improvements in device performance are fueling the progress to higher functionality and new application areas. For example, over the last 15 years, the performance of microprocessors has increased 1000 times. Analog circuit ...

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 next-generation wireless broadband technology is changing the way we work, live, learn, and communicate through effective use of state- of-the-art mobile broadband technology. The packet-data-based revolu- tion started around 2000 with the introduction of 1x Evolved Data Only (1xEV-DO) and 1x Ev ...

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 ...

This book is an entry-level text on the technology of telecommunications. It has been crafted with the newcomer in mind. The twenty-one chapters of text have been prepared for high-school graduates who understand algebra, logarithms, and the basic principles of electricity such as Ohm’s law. Howeve ...
