More about the book

This fully revised and updated edition of "Advanced Wireless Communications" offers a comprehensive study of enabling technologies for fourth generation (4G) wireless systems, reflecting significant advancements in research and industry since the first edition. It includes extensive information on common air interface components, such as space-time coding, multicarrier modulation (especially OFDM), MIMO, cognitive radio, and cooperative transmission. Targeted at students and engineers in wireless communications research and development, this edition also serves as a valuable resource for professionals in telecom operators and regulatory institutions. New features include a chapter on linear precoding in MIMO channels utilizing convex optimization theory, and material based on game theory modeling that addresses adjacent cell interference, flexible spectrum sharing, and cooperation in ad hoc networks. The book presents the latest schemes for interference suppression in ultra-wideband (UWB) cognitive systems and delves deeper into cooperative transmission and positioning. This updated edition is essential for understanding current approaches and technologies in the rapidly evolving field of wireless communications.
