The current methods of communications are becoming less relevant under today’s growing demand for and reliance on constant connectivity. Of decreasing relevance are the models of a single radio to perform a single task. The expansion of wireless access points among coffee shops, airports, malls, an ...

The telecommunications industry has seen a rapid boost within the last decade. New realities and visions of functionalities in various telecommunications networks have brought forward the concept of next-generation networks (NGNs). The competitions among operators for support- ing various services, ...

Today’s wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing. New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating thi ...

According to the statistics of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), temporal and geographical variations in the utilization of the as- signed spectrum range from 15% to 85%. The limited available radio spec- trum and the inefficiency in spectrum usage necessitate a new commu- nication paradi ...

Many times I have been asked to explain “ briefl y ” how SDH, SONET, and the OTN “ exactly ” work. The questions came mainly from new colleagues, stu- dents, and users of these technologies, personally or via the usenet newsgroup comp.dcom.sdh - sonet. I could have referred them to the standards ...

The new digital radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting, nowadays often called Digital Radio) is a very innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system which will replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in the future. It was developed in the 1990s ...

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 ...

This thesis is about wireless communication in shared radio spectrum. Its origin and motivation is ideally represented by the two quotations from above. In this thesis, the support of Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cognitive radio networks is analyzed. New approaches to distributed coordination of cogn ...

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 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 ...
