Multiple Antenna Transceivers for Mobile Communications

Antenna diversity has become of critical importance in today's mobile communications systems and this groundbreaking book offers professionals new approaches to designing transmission strategies for multi-antenna systems. In addition to 3G (third generation) and broadband wireless technology, it delves into self-organizing networks, which holds great promise as the future generation of wireless communication systems. The book provides telecommunications systems designers with novel, yet practical, design strategies for developing systems that efficiently use power and bandwidth. It explains how to provide quality of service (QoS) with minimal transmission power. In addition, the book shows how engineers can design wireless networks that are less likely to drop signals and lose calls. This trail-blazing guide is filled with detailed information about the physical aspects and actual operations of 3G and wireless broadband networks that bridges that gap between theory and real-world systems design.
