ISBN: 0672327023 | 408 pages | March 15, 2006 | Sams Teach Your Self


Book Description :
These days, nobody really wants to learn everything there is about their hardware and software. And even if you did, who has the time to endlessly tinker and play with it until you figure everything out? You just want a book that will quickly show you how to set up your home wireless network. Home Wireless Networking in a Snap is designed specifically for busy people like you. You can have it in versi chm or want to buy this book.

This book covers the things that aren't already covered in the documentation that came with your equipment and the things you can't just figure out on your own. It is organized into a series of well-organized, bite-sized, quickly accomplished tasks, that lets you zero right in on particular tasks you want to accomplish. This hands-on approach to setting-up a secure home wireless network will have your network up and running in no time.

Smart Antennas—State of the Art brings together the broad expertise of 41European experts in smart antennas. They provide a comprehensive review and anextensive analysis of the recent progress and new results generated duringthe last years in almost all fields of smart antennas and MIMO (multiple-inputmultiple-output) transmission.

The following represents a summarizedtable of content:

• Receiver: space-time processing, antenna combining, reduced rank processing, robust beamforming, subspace methods, synchronization, equalization, multiuser detection, iterative methods.
• Channel: propagation, measurements and sounding, modelling, channel estimation, direction-of-arrival estimation, subscriber location estimation.
• Transmitter: space-time block coding, channel side information, unified design of linear transceivers, ill-conditioned channels, MIMO-MAC strategies.
• Network Theory: channel capacity, network capacity, multihop networks.
• Technology: antenna design, transceivers, demonstrators and testbeds, future air interfaces.
• Applications and Systems: 3G system and link level aspects, MIMO HSDPA, MIMO-WLAN/UMTS implementation issues.

This book serves as a reference for scientists and engineers who need to beaware of the leading edge research in multiple-antenna communications, an essential technology for emerging broadband wireless systems.

Book Review : Fundamentals of Wireless Communication

Book Description

The past decade has seen many advances in physical-layer wireless communication theory and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of concepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an audience with a basic background in probability and digital communication. Topics covered include MIMO (multiple input multiple output) communication, space-time coding, opportunistic communication, OFDM and CDMA. The concepts are illustrated using many examples from wireless systems such as GSM, IS-95 (CDMA), IS-856(1xEV-DO), Flash OFDM and ArrayComm SDMA systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay between concepts and their implementation in systems. An abundant supply of exercises and figures reinforce the material in the text. This book is intended for use on graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering and will also be of great interest to practicing engineers.
