A series of features makes the mobile telecommunications industry an interesting field of investigation for economists: the industry is experi- encing veryfastmarketgrowthcombinedwithrapidtechnological change; regulatory design in setting market structure is playing a very important role; and oligopolistic competition is unfolding under various forms. The Number of subscribers to mobile networks is growing at a rapid rate on a worldwide basis, as shown in figure 1.1.

Over the past ten years there has been a revolution in the devel- opment and acceptance of mobile products. In that period, cel- lular telephony and consumer electronics have moved from the realm of science fiction to everyday reality. Much of that revolu- tion is unremarkable – we use wireless, in its broadest sense, for TV remote controls, car keyfobs, travel tickets and credit card transactions every day. At the same time, we have increased the Number of mobile devices that we carry around with us. However, in many cases the design and function of these and other static products are still constrained by the wired connections that they use to transfer and share data.

During the past two decades there has been a substantial growth in research in wireless communications. The Number of journals published from various parts of the world catering to the research community has grown exponentially. Despite such a growth, the engineering community still needs more information so as to thoroughly comprehend wireless channel characteristics. What specifically must be understood are the effects of channel degradation brought on by statistical fluctua- tions in the channel.

During the past decade, many wireless communication techniques have been developedto achievevariousgoals suchas higherdata rate,morerobustlink quality, and higher Number of users in a given bandwidth. For wireless communication systems, depending on the availability of a feedback link, two approaches can be considered: namely open and closed loop. Open loop communication system that does not exploit the channel knowledge at the transmitter is now well understood from both a theoretical and practical point of view.

Currently, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry sector accounts for about 2–6% of the energy consumption worldwide, and a significant por- tion of this is contributed by the wireless and mobile communications industry. With the proliferation of wireless data applications, wireless technology continues to increase worldwide at an unprecedented growth rate. This has resulted in an increased Number of installed base stations and higher demand on power grids and device power usage, causing an increased carbon footprint worldwide.

With the rapid growth in the Number of wireless applications, services and devices, using a single wireless technology such as a second generation (2G) and third gener- ation (3G) wireless system would not be efficient to deliver high speed data rate and quality-of-service (QoS) support to mobile users in a seamless way. The next genera- tion wireless systems (also sometimes referred to as Fourth generation (4G) systems) are being devised with the vision of heterogeneity in which a mobile user/device will be able to connect to multiple wireless networks (e.g., WLAN, cellular, WMAN) simultaneously.

In this paper we revisit hybrid analog-digital precoding systems with emphasis on their modelling and radio-frequency (RF) losses, to realistically evaluate their benefits in 5G system implementations. For this, we decompose the analog beamforming networks (ABFN) as a bank of commonly used RF components and formulate realistic model constraints based on their S-parameters. Specifically, we concentrate on fully-connected ABFN (FC-ABFN) and Butler networks for implementing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in the RF domain. The results presented in this paper reveal that the performance and energy efficiency of hybrid precoding systems are severely affected, once practical factors are considered in the overall design. In this context, we also show that Butler RF networks are capable of providing better performances than FC-ABFN for systems with a large Number of RF chains.

To meet the future demand for huge traffic volume of wireless data service, the research on the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems has been undertaken in recent years. It is expected that the spectral and energy efficiencies in 5G mobile communication systems should be ten-fold higher than the ones in the fourth generation (4G) mobile communication systems. Therefore, it is important to further exploit the potential of spatial multiplexing of multiple antennas. In the last twenty years, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna techniques have been considered as the key techniques to increase the capacity of wireless communication systems. When a large-scale antenna array (which is also called massive MIMO) is equipped in a base-station, or a large Number of distributed antennas (which is also called large-scale distributed MIMO) are deployed, the spectral and energy efficiencies can be further improved by using spatial domain multiple access. This paper provides an overview of massive MIMO and large-scale distributed MIMO systems, including spectral efficiency analysis, channel state information (CSI) acquisition, wireless transmission technology, and resource allocation.

For nearly a hundred years telecommunications provided mainly voice services and very low speed data (telegraph and telex). With the advent of the Internet, several data services became mainstream in telecommunications; to the point that voice is becoming an accessory to IP-centric data networks. Today, high-speed data services are already part of our daily lives at work and at home (web surfing, e-mail, virtual private networks, VoIP, virtual meetings, chats...). The demand for high-speed data services will grow even more with the increasing Number of people telecommuting.

There are few technologies that have had a more profound effect on people’s lives than mobile communications. As recently as twenty years ago no one had a mobile phone, while today 1.4 billion men, women and children depend on them. This now exceeds the Number of landline users, where it took the preceding one hundred years to reach the 1 billion mark. The ability to make mobile voice calls turns out to be the answer to a deeply felt need across different cultures who simply want to communicate.
