A study of OFDM, including a comparison with other forms of single carrier modulation methods. It provides the design guidelines needed to maximise benefits from this technology. There is practical advice on how to plan, design and use OFDM to make wireless multimedia communications happen. It offers a solid base for assessing the performance of wireless OFDM systems; explains how OFDM signals are formed using the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform, how the cyclic extension mitigates the effects of modulation, and how windowing can limit out-of-band radiation; discusses the sensitivity of OFDM to...

This text evaluates wideband CDMA as an effective third generation technology option, giving a picture of the various wideband CDMA standardization activities underway worldwide in the late 1990s. The book compares a range of CDMA design techniques and examines how each affects system performance. It also describes how third generation system applications will impact radio access system design and compares and contrasts each major wideband CDMA standardization proposal currently on the table, including FRAMES wideband CDMA in Europe, Core-A in Japan, wideband IS-95 in the US, and wideband...

This cutting-edge, first-of-its-kind resource gives professionals a comprehensive understanding of the simulation and evaluation methods used in the design and development of today's mobile communication systems. Written by two highly regarded experts in the field, the book defines and presents several simulation tools that are extremely valuable to mobile communications engineers and researchers.

Written by a leading authority, this timely new work offers today's wireless professionals a complete understanding of OFDM technology and applications in wireless communications systems, placing emphasis on wireless LANs (local area networks) and PANs (personal area networks).

Future Internet and Internet of Things set out a new vision for connectivity, real-time applications, and services. Data procured from the use of a large number of heterogeneous physical and virtual devices must be real-time processed and analyzed for the goal of effective resource management and control while maintaining the required performance and quality of service. In addition, the development of the communication networks toward heterogeneous and new generation broadband connectivity brings up new requirements toward the way of managing and controling the available resources. Thus,...

With the emergence of 5G, the society would be ushered into a new communication era. 5G would be significantly different, especially, in terms of architecture and operation in comparison with the previous communication generations (4G, 3G...). This book discusses the various aspects of the architecture, operation, possible challenges, and mechanisms to overcome potential challenges. Further, it supports users' interaction through communication devices relying on Human Bond Communication and COmmunication-NAvigation- SENsing- SErvices (CONASENSE).

Topics broadly covered in this book...
