This unique book reviews the future developments of short-range
wireless communication technologies
Short-Range Wireless Communications: Emerging Technologies
and Applications summarizes the outcomes of WWRF Working Group
5, highlighting the latest research results and emerging trends on
short-range communications. It contains contributions from leading
research groups in academia and industry on future short-range
wireless communication systems, in particular 60 GHz
communications, ultra-wide band (UWB) communications, UWB radio
over optical fiber, and design rules for future cooperative
short-range communications systems. Starting from a brief
description of state-of-the-art, the authors highlight the
perspectives and limits of the technologies and identify where
future research work is going to be focused.
Key Features:
* Provides an in-depth coverage of wireless technologies that are
about to start an evolution from international standards to mass
products, and that will influence the future of short-range
communications
* Offers a unique and invaluable visionary overview from both
industry and academia
* Identifies open research problems, technological challenges,
emerging technologies, and fundamental limits
* Covers ultra-high speed short-range communication in the 60 GHz
band, UWB communication, limits and challenges, cooperative aspects
in short-range communication and visible light communications, and
UWB radio over optical fiber
This book will be of interest to research managers, R&D
engineers, lecturers and graduate students within the wireless
communication research community. Executive managers and
communication engineers will also find this reference useful.
