The book contains an excellent detail of Cognitive Radio CDMA networks. The book explores the area of the application of cognitive radio concept to CDMA based networks. The book mainly focuses on the application of radio resource management techniques such as beamforming, power and rate control, packet combining, forward error correction in CDMA and cognitive radio CDMA networks. The book may be divided in two parts. First part considers performance evaluation of CDMA cellular networks in reverse and forward link. Second part considers several issues in evolving cognitive radio CDMA networks....

This book considers analysis and design of hard handoff and soft handoff algorithms. Handoff is one of the key mechanisms in cellular network. A good handoff algorithm takes care of perfect load distribution among different Base Stations, reduce interference, and maintain cell boundary. Different handoff algorithms depending on Distance, Signal strength, Timer have been developed for mobile cellular systems. There is no dearth in literature for handoff mechanisms and algorithms. Those mechanisms and techniques are quite complicated. Analytical and simulation methods presented in this book can...
