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).

The first of a three-volume series on the latest research and developments in the field of mobile communications, this cutting-edge resource offers practical insight into the next generation of wireless systems, services, and applications. Culled from groundbreaking research associated with the Information Society Technologies (IST) program, this unique book helps professionals understand how the networks of tomorrow will evolve into a common, open platform, capable of delivering a range of voice, video, and data services in a combined and seamless manner. This forward-looking volume covers a wide-range of important topics, from the architectures of future wireless systems and the importance of short-range systems in the global communication society, to service platforms/technologies and application platforms. The DVD included contains further details on critical topics related to the research discussed in the book.

The development of new mobile multimedia services is certain to create new issues for future mobile communication systems. This second volume on the latest research and developments in the field offers a survey of the management and network optimization methods that will help you overcome the challenges that lie ahead. Like its companion volumes, research results from the Information Society Technologies (IST) program has been gathered to give you details in the most critical areas. The key topics include the management of heterogeneous and hybrid networks, advanced resource management techniques, cutting-edge radio technologies, advances in the development of satellite systems as part of a global integrated communication system, research on interactive broadcasting, and end-to-end solutions for delivery of services and guaranteed QoS.

Addressing the fast-growing need to integrate effective security features into wireless communication systems, this cutting-edge book offers a broad overview of wireless security, so engineers can choose the methods and techniques that are most appropriate for their projects.

MIMO (multiple input and multiple output) is the technology that is advancing the wireless industry from Third Generation (3G) to cutting edge Fourth Generation (4G) systems, and this book is the professional engineer's essential guide to MIMO. It takes readers step-by-step from the basics of MIMO through various coding techniques to such advance topics as multiplexing and packet transmission. Practical examples are emphasized and arcane math is kept to a minimum, so field engineers can quickly and thoroughly understand the essentials of MIMO. The book takes a systems view of MIMO technology to help engineers quickly analyze the benefits and drawbacks of any MIMO systems. Professionals find detailed coverage of a critical up-and-coming topic not covered in any other book -- direct interfacing of a CDMA system, such as IS-95 with an OFDM system. This approach helps engineers design systems that can meet the ever-increasing need for higher throughput wireless communication. CD-ROM Included! Features software to simulate wireless systems as well as tutorial software.
