The exponential increase in mobile device users and high-bandwidth applications has pushed the current 3G and 4G wireless networks to their capacity. Moreover, it is predicted that mobile data traffic will continue to grow by over 300 percent by 2017. To handle this spectacular growth, the development of improved wireless networks for the future ha

The Future of Wireless Networks

Future wireless communication systems should be operating mainly, if not completely, on burst data services carrying multimedia traffic.The need to support high-speed burst traffic has already posed a great challenge to all currently available air-link technologies based either on TDMA or CDMA.The first generation CDMA technology has been used in both 2G and 3G mobile cellular standards and it has been suggested that it is not suitable for high-speed burst-type traffic. There are many problems with the first generation CDMA technology, such as its low spreading efficiency, interference-limited capacity and the need for precision power control, etc... 'The Next Generation Technologies' will offer first-hand information on how to make use of various innovative technologies to implement the next generation CDMA technology. As an all-in-one reference for telecommunications engineers, advanced R & D personnels, undergraduate and postgraduate students, this book is must-read material. Addresses various important issues about the next generation CDMA technologies as the major air-link technology for beyond 3G wireless applications. Covers topics from next generation CDMA system modelling to analytical methodology, starting with the basics and progressing to advanced research topics. Contains many new and previously unpublished research results. Introduces many innovative CDMA technologies such as DS/CC-CDMA, OS/CC-CDMA, space-time complementary coding CDMA, M-ary CDMA, optical complementary coded CDMA, etc.

Next Generation Wireless Systems and Networks offers an expert view of cutting edge Beyond 3rd Generation (B3G) wireless applications. This self-contained reference combines the basics of wireless communications, such as 3G wireless standards, spread spectrum and CDMA systems, with a more advanced level research-oriented approach to B3G communications, eliminating the need to refer to other material. This book will provide readers with the most up-to-date technological developments in wireless communication systems/networks and introduces the major 3G standards, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000 and TD-SCDMA. It also includes a focus on cognitive radio technology and 3GPP E-UTRA technology; areas which have not been well covered elsewhere. Covers many hot topics in the area of next generation wireless from the authors’ own research, including: Bluetooth, all-IP wireless networking, power-efficient and bandwidth-efficient air-link technologies, and multi-user signal processing in B3G wireless Clear, step-by-step progression throughout the book will provide the reader with a thorough grounding in the basic topics before moving on to more advanced material Addresses various important topics on wireless communication systems and networks that have emerged only very recently, such as Super-3G technology, 4G wireless, UWB, OFDMA and MIMO Includes a wealth of explanatory tables and illustrations This essential reference will prove invaluable to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and researchers. It will also be of interest to telecommunications engineers wishing to further their knowledge in this field.

Next Generation Wireless Systems and Networks

Cooperative devices and mechanisms are increasingly important to enhance the performance of wireless communications and networks, with their ability to decrease power consumption and packet loss rate and increase system capacity, computation, and network resilience. Considering the wide range of applications, strategies, and benefits associated with cooperative wireless communications, researchers and product developers need a succinct understanding of relevant theory, fundamentals, and techniques to navigate this challenging field. Cooperative Wireless Communications provides just that.

Cooperative Wireless Communications

Welcome to the Third International Conference on Information Security and Ass- ance (ISA 2009). ISA 2009 was the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in information security and assurance. The concept of security and assurance is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm to provide reliable and safe life services. Our conference provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of communication and networking including modeling, simulation and novel applications associated with the utilization and acceptance of computing devices and systems. ISA 2009 was a succ- sor of the First International Workshop on Information Assurance in Networks (IAN 2007, Jeju-island, Korea, December, 2007), and the Second International Conference on Information Security and Assurance (ISA 2008, Busan, Korea, April 2008). The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of information technology. ISA 2009 contained research papers submitted by researchers from all over the world. In order to guarantee high-quality proceedings, we put extensive effort into reviewing the papers. All submissions were peer reviewed by at least three Program Committee members as well as external reviewers. As the quality of the submissions was quite high, it was extremely difficult to select the papers for oral presentation and publication in the proceedings of the conference.
