Emerging technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX are profoundly changing the landscape of wireless broadband.  As  we evolve into future generation wireless networks, a primary challenge is the support of high data rate, integrated multi- media type traffic over a unified platform. Due to its ...

Since the telephone was invented in the late nineteenth century, there has been a steady development of telephone services, and the number of subscribers has con- tinuously increased. One of the most revolutionary developments in telephone serv- ice in the late twentieth century was the introduction ...

The idea of the book was born during the time when the second generation cellular system was looming on the horizon.At that time ,the world was divided into three distinct camps as far as looking for a standard: Europe North America and Japan.

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 ...

The capability of radio waves to provide almost instantaneous distant communications without interconnecting wires was a major factor in the explosive growth of communica- tions during the 20th century. With the dawn of the 21st century, the future for communi- cations systems seems limitless. The i ...

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems have recently been the subject of intensive consideration in modem wireless communications as they offer the potential of providing high capacity, thus unleashing a wide range of applications in the wireless domain. The main feature of MIMO systems is th ...

Over the past few decades, wireless communications and networking have witnessed an unprecedented growth, and have become pervasive much sooner than anyone could have predicted. For example, cellular wireless networks are expected to become the dominant and ubiquitous telecommunication means in the ...

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 ...

This chapter introduces concepts on cooperating objects and wireless sensor net- works that will be used in the following chapters. It also introduces the Embedded WiSeNts Coordination Action. Finally, it presents an overview of the book and the relations between the following chapters.

It is commonly accepted today that optical fiber communications have revolutionized telecommunications. Indeed, dramatic changes have been induced in the way we interact with our relatives, friends, and colleagues: we retrieve information, we entertain and educate ourselves, we buy and sell, we orga ...
