Wireless Personal Communications: Emerging Technologies for Enhanced Communications

by William H. Tranter (Editor), Theodore S. Rappaport (Editor), Brian D. Woerner (Editor), Jeffrey H. Reed (Editor)

Overview

Wireless Personal Communications: Emerging Technologies for Enhanced Communications presents a broad range of topics in wireless communications, including perspectives from both industry and academia. The book serves as a reflection of emerging technologies in wireless communications.
Wireless Personal Communications: Emerging Technologies for Enhanced Communications is divided into six sections. The first five are devoted to the following topics: Smart Antennas and Diversity; Propagation; Interference Cancellation; Equalization; and Modulation, Coding and Networking. The contributions reflect current research thrusts as the wireless community strives to enhance the capabilities of wireless communications. The final section includes contributions on a variety of pertinent topics.
Wireless Personal Communications: Emerging Technologies for Enhanced Communications serves as an excellent reference source and may be used as a text for advanced courses on the subject.

Editorial Reviews

The proceedings consists of 19 papers presented at the June 1998 symposium and ten posters. The papers are divided into five sections devoted to the following topics: smart antennas and diversity, propagation, interference cancellation, equalization, and modulation, coding, and networking. The contributions reflect current research thrusts and emerging technologies in wireless communication. Among the topics are frequency reuse reduction for IS-136 using a four element adaptive array, predicting propagation loss from leaky coaxial cable terminated with an indoor antenna, a new hybrid CDMA/TDMA multiuser receiver system, an effective LMS equalizer for the GSM chipset, and evaluation of the ad-hoc connectivity with the zone routing protocols.
