Elucidating fundamental design principles by means of accurate trade-off analysis of relevant design options using suitable mathematical tools, this is the first book to provide a coherent treatment of transmission technologies essential to current and future wireless systems. Develop in-depth knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of wireless transmission technologies in supporting high-quality wireless transmission services, and foster a thorough understanding of various design trade-offs, to help identify an ideal choice for your own application requirements. Key technologies such as advanced diversity combining, multi-user scheduling, multi-user multi-antenna transmission, relay transmission, and cognitive radio are examined, making this an essential resource for senior graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in wireless communications.

A unified presentation, broad coverage, single-volume convenience This timesaving reference provides a unified approach to the performance analysis of digital communication systems over generalized fading channels. Employing alternative forms of such classical mathematical functions as the Gaussian Q-function, the Marcum Q-function, and the incomplete Gamma function, the book expresses communication system error probability performance in terms of the moment generation function (MGF) of the fading process. This MGF-based approach provides the unifying backbone of the book. Digital Communication over Fading Channels discusses in detail coherent, differentially coherent, and noncoherent communication systems as well as a large variety of fading channel models typical of communication links found in the real world. Coverage also includes single- and multichannel reception and, in the case of the latter, a large variety of diversity types. For each combination of communication type, channel fading model, and diversity type, the average bit error rate and/or symbol error rate is expressed in an easy-to-evaluate form. Special features include: * Important results previously scattered over many publications-now in a single volume * Simplified results heretofore available only in complex forms * Extremely broad coverage of topics * Explores practical applications, including the problem of optimum combining in the presence of co-channel interference

A Unified Approach to Performance Analysis

Digital Communication Over Fading Channels

The four short years since Digital Communication over FadingChannels became an instant classic have seen a virtual explosion ofsignificant new work on the subject, both by the authors and bynumerous researchers around the world. Foremost among these is agreat deal of progress in the area of transmit diversity andspace-time coding and the associated multiple input-multiple output(MIMO) channel. This new edition gathers these and other results,previously scattered throughout numerous publications, into asingle convenient and informative volume. Like its predecessor, this Second Edition discusses in detailcoherent and noncoherent communication systems as well as a largevariety of fading channel models typical of communication linksfound in the real world. Coverage includes single- and multichannelreception and, in the case of the latter, a large variety ofdiversity types. The moment generating function (MGF)-basedapproach for performance analysis, introduced by the authors in thefirst edition and referred to in literally hundreds ofpublications, still represents the backbone of the book'spresentation. Important features of this new edition include: * An all-new, comprehensive chapter on transmit diversity,space-time coding, and the MIMO channel, focusing on performanceevaluation * Coverage of new and improved diversity schemes * Performance analyses of previously known schemes in new anddifferent fading scenarios * A new chapter on the outage probability of cellular mobile radiosystems * A new chapter on the capacity of fading channels * And much more Digital Communication over Fading Channels, Second Edition is anindispensable resource for graduate students, researchersinvestigating these systems, and practicing engineers responsiblefor evaluating their performance.

This book investigates energy management approaches for energy efficient or energy-centric system design and architecture and presents end-to-end energy management in the recent heterogeneous-type wireless network medium. It also considers energy management in wireless sensor and mesh networks by exploiting energy efficient transmission techniques and protocols. and explores energy management in emerging applications, services and engineering to be facilitated with 5G networks such as WBANs, VANETS and Cognitive networks. A special focus of the book is on the examination of the energy management practices in emerging wireless cellular and ad hoc networks. Considering the broad scope of energy management in wireless cellular and ad hoc networks, this book is organized into six sections covering range of Energy efficient systems and architectures; Energy efficient transmission and techniques; Energy efficient applications and services.

Energy Management in Wireless Cellular and Ad-hoc Networks

Covering fundamental principles through to practical applications, this self-contained guide describes indispensable mathematical tools for the analysis and design of advanced wireless transmission and reception techniques in MIMO and OFDM systems. The analysis-oriented approach develops a thorough understanding of core concepts and discussion of various example schemes shows how to apply these concepts in practice. The book focuses on techniques for advanced diversity combining, channel adaptive transmission and multiuser scheduling, the foundations of future wireless systems for the delivery of highly spectrum-efficient wireless multimedia services. Bringing together conventional and novel results from a wide variety of sources, it will teach you to accurately quantify trade-offs between performance and complexity for different design options so that you can determine the most suitable design choice based on your specific practical implementation constraints.
