Despite frustrating customers and loss of revenue for telecommunications providers, cellular network congestion has remained a problem for which few solutions have been found. Covering GSM, GPRS, UMTS and beyond 3G systems, this practical book breaks new ground by providing you with proven techniques for decreasing blocking and dropped call rate due to network congestion. Using real measurements, this book clearly shows you that the maximum traffic that can be accommodated in a wireless network is not a constant value and varies significantly.
If you're looking for an up-to-date, easy-to-understand treatment of the GPS (Global Positioning System), this one-of-a-kind resource offers you the knowledge you need for your work, without bogging you down with advanced mathematics. It addresses all aspects of the GPS, emphasizes GPS applications, examines the GPS signal structure, and covers the key types of measurement being utilized in the field today.
Here's a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to the underlying technologies, key selection criteria, and design and deployment processes behind wireless local loop (WLL) systems. This one-source reference helps technical professionals develop a sound understanding of WLL system design procedures, and provides practical guidance on choosing the best WLL and access technologies.
Europe's leading experts from industry and academia present the results of the research into advanced mobile technologies and services performed within the scope of the ACTS R& D program in two new book volumes. Invaluable for industry professionals and researchers, the state-of-the-art in European R& D into wireless technologies is detailed in these two works.
This practical book is an accessible introduction to Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver design, a technology that allows digitized data to be carried by multiple carriers. It offers a detailed simulation study of an OFDM algorithm for Wi-Fi and 4G cellular that can be used to understand other OFDM waveforms. Extensive simulation studies are included using the transmissionwaveform given by the IEEE 802.11 standard. Scrambler, error-correcting codes, interleaver and radio-wave propagation model are included. OFDM waveform characteristics, signal acquisition, synchronization issues, channel estimation and tracking, hard and soft decision decoding are all covered. Detailed derivations leading to the final formula for any algorithm are given, which allows the reader to clearly understand the approximations and conditions behind the formulas and apply them appropriately. The algorithms are selected not just for the best performance from simulation study but also for easy implementation. An example is a unique algorithm for signal acquisition using the principle of maximum likelihood detection.
Annotation "This resource takes professionals step by step from the basics of MIMO through various coding techniques, to critical topics such as multiplexing and packet transmission. Practical examples are emphasized and mathematics is kept to a minimum, so readers can quickly and thoroughly understand the essentials of MIMO. The book takes a systems view of MIMO technology that helps professionals analyze the benefits and drawbacks of any MIMO system."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
