Author Description

Product Description<br/><br/>Ensuring reliable communication is an important concern in short-range wireless communication systems with stringent quality of service requirements. Key characteristics of these systems, including data rate, communication range, channel profiles, network topologies and power efficiency, are very different from those in long-range systems. This comprehensive book classifies short-range wireless technologies as high and low data rate systems. It addresses major factors affecting reliability at different layers of the protocol stack, detailing the best ways to enhance the capacity and performance of short-range wireless systems. Particular emphasis is placed on reliable channel estimation, state-of-the-art interference mitigation techniques and cooperative communications for improved reliability. The book also provides detailed coverage of related international standards including UWB, ZigBee, and 60 GHz communications. With a balanced treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of short-range wireless communications and with a focus on reliability, this is an ideal resource for practitioners and researchers in wireless communications.<br/><br/>Book Description<br/><br/>Describes underlying principles and practical implementation schemes for short-range wireless systems, focusing on issues of reliability.<br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/>Ismail Guvenc is a research engineer with DoCoMo USA Labs, where his research interests include UWB communications and position estimation, femtocell networks, relay networks, LTE systems and cognitive radio.
