Wireless Communications
Wireless technology is a truly revolutionary paradigm shift, enabling multimedia communications between people and devices from any location. It also underpins exciting applications such as sensor networks, smart homes, telemedicine, and automated highways. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the underlying theory, design techniques and analytical tools of wireless communications, focusing primarily on the core principles of wireless system design. The book begins with an overview of wireless systems and standards. The characteristics of the wireless channel are then described, including their fundamental capacity limits. Various modulation, coding, and signal processing schemes are then discussed in detail, including state-of-the-art adaptive modulation, multicarrier, spread spectrum, and multiple antenna techniques. The concluding chapters deal with multiuser communications, cellular system design, and ad-hoc network design. Design insights and tradeoffs are emphasized throughout the book. It contains many worked examples, over 200 figures, almost 300 homework exercises, over 700 references, and is an ideal textbook for students.
The Memory Trap
Winner of the 2015 Melbourne Prize Best Writing Award. A novel about memory, music, friendship, family rifts and reconciliation, this is a beautiful, intelligent read. Nina Jameson, an international consultant on memorial projects based in London, has been happily married to Daniel for twelve years. When her life falls apart she accepts a job in her hometown of Melbourne. There she joins her sister, Zoe, embroiled in her own problems with Elliot, an American biographer of literary women. And she finds herself caught up in age-old conflicts of two friends from her past: the celebrated pianist Ramsay Blake and his younger brother, Sean. All these people have been treading thin ice for far too long. Nina arrives home to find work, loves and entrenched obsessions under threat. A rich and compelling story of marriage, music, the illusions of love and the deceits of memory, THE MEMORY TRAP's characters are real, flawed and touchingly human.
Invented Lives
Knowing what you want is hard. Accepting what is possible is harder still … It is the mid-1980s. In Australia, stay-at-home wives jostle with want-it-all feminists, while AIDS threatens the sexual freedom of everyone. On the other side of the world, the Soviet bloc is in turmoil. Mikhail Gorbachev has been in power for a year when twenty-four-year-old book illustrator Galina Kogan leaves Leningrad — forbidden ever to return. As a Jew, she’s inherited several generations worth of Russia’s chronic anti-Semitism. As a Soviet citizen, she is unprepared for Australia and its easy-going ways. Once settled in Melbourne, Galina is befriended by Sylvie and Leonard Morrow, and their adult son,...
Principles of Cognitive Radio
Expert authors draw on fundamental theory to explain the core principles and key design considerations for developing cognitive radio systems.
MIMO Wireless Communications
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a breakthrough in the design of wireless communications systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards. Exploiting multipath scattering, MIMO techniques deliver significant performance enhancements in terms of data transmission rate and interference reduction. This 2007 book is a detailed introduction to the analysis and design of MIMO wireless systems. Beginning with an overview of MIMO technology, the authors then examine the fundamental capacity limits of MIMO systems. Transmitter design, including precoding and space-time coding, is then treated in depth, and the book closes with two chapters devoted to receiver design. Written by a team of leading experts, the book blends theoretical analysis with physical insights, and highlights a range of key design challenges. It can be used as a textbook for advanced courses on wireless communications, and will also appeal to researchers and practitioners working on MIMO wireless systems.
Machine Learning and Wireless Communications
How can machine learning help the design of future communication networks – and how can future networks meet the demands of emerging machine learning applications? Discover the interactions between two of the most transformative and impactful technologies of our age in this comprehensive book. First, learn how modern machine learning techniques, such as deep neural networks, can transform how we design and optimize future communication networks. Accessible introductions to concepts and tools are accompanied by numerous real-world examples, showing you how these techniques can be used to tackle longstanding problems. Next, explore the design of wireless networks as platforms for machine learning applications – an overview of modern machine learning techniques and communication protocols will help you to understand the challenges, while new methods and design approaches will be presented to handle wireless channel impairments such as noise and interference, to meet the demands of emerging machine learning applications at the wireless edge.
The Prosperous Thief
The Prosperous Thiefis a rich and epic novel of two families spanning the turbulence of the twentieth century over three continents. The wrongs of the past remain wrongs, even in the present and it is Alice Lewin, the sole survivor of her family from World War II in Germany, who makes a journey across the world to find the thief and his unimaginable theft.
