Wireless Communications.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25797 ) has announced the addition of Wireless Communications wireless communications

System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data.
 to their offering.

In the last decade, digital wireless communications have turned from a niche market A niche market also known as a target market is a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market sector.

By definition, then, a business that focuses on a niche market is addressing a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by mainstream providers.
 into one of the most important industries. There has been an enormous growth in knowledge about this field and it is vital for all of todays communications engineers to have a thorough knowledge of digital wireless communications. Most existing textbooks or self-study books in this area do not seem to provide comprehensive coverage of the relevant topics often related to the fact that they are up to five years old. Wireless Communications will provide a self-contained all encompassing current treatment of the area and topics covered will include directional channel modelling, multi-user detection, MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) Pronounced "my-mo," it is the use of multiple transmitters and receivers (multiple antennas) on wireless devices for improved performance.  systems, and 3G standards. In addition, the author has combined mathematical derivations with intuitive explanations of the physical facts in order to help students (including self-study readers) to acquire a deeper understanding of the facts.

Summary

Wireless Communications presents the most comprehensive coverage of this field which, in only a decade, has grown from a niche market into one of the most important industries. While previous systems were generally intended to provide mobile speech communications, mobile data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another.  have since developed.

This essential textbook on the principles and applications of mobile radio is an all-encompassing current treatment of the area, addressing both the traditional elements, such as Rayleigh fading, BER (1) (Basic Encoding Rules) A set of encoding rules for ASN.1 notation, which is a method for defining data structures. See ASN.1.

(2) (Bit Error Rate) The average number of bits transmitted in error. See BERT.

 in flat fading channels, and equalization In communications, techniques used to reduce distortion and compensate for signal loss (attenuation) over long distances. , and more recently emerging topics like multi-user detection in CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band.  systems, OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A digital transmission technique that uses a large number of carriers spaced apart at slightly different frequencies.  and smart antennas. These fundamentals are related to practical systems, and the dominant wireless standards, including cellular, cordless and wireless LANs, are discussed.

A comprehensive and current treatment of a very hot topic, one of the fastest growing fields of communications

Topics featured include: wireless propagation channels, transceivers and signal processing, multiple access and advanced transceiver schemes, and standardized wireless systems

Combines mathematical descriptions with intuitive explanations of the physical facts, to assist readers in acquiring a deeper understanding of the area.

Wireless Communications is an essential text for advanced undergraduate students with a working knowledge of standard digital communications, graduate students and practising engineers. It will also be an invaluable source of reference for wireless communications engineers.
