Facilitating Cooperation for Wireless Systems
Cooperative Communications: Hardware, Channel & PHY
focuses on issues pertaining to the PHY layer of wireless
communication networks, offering a rigorous taxonomy of this
dispersed field, along with a range of application scenarios for
cooperative and distributed schemes, demonstrating how these
techniques can be employed. The authors discuss hardware,
complexity and power consumption issues, which are vital for
understanding what can be realized at the PHY layer, showing how
wireless channel models differ from more traditional models, and
highlighting the reliance of PHY algorithm performance on the
underlying channel models. Numerous transparent and regenerative
relaying protocols are described in detail for a variety of
transparent and regenerative cooperative schemes.
Key Features:
* Introduces background, concepts, applications, milestones and
thorough taxonomy
* Identifies the potential in this emerging technology applied to
e.g. LTE/Wi MAX, WSN
* Discusses latest wireless channel models for transparent and
regenerative protocols
* Addresses the fundamentals as well as latest emerging PHY
protocols
* Introduces transparent distributed STBC, STTC, multiplexing and
beamforming protocols
* Quantifies regenerative distributed space-time, channel and
network coding protocols
* Explores system optimization, such as distributed power
allocation and relay selection
* Introduces and compares analog and digital hardware
architectures
* Quantifies complexity, memory and power consumption of 3G UMTS
& 4G LTE/Wi MAX relay
* Highlights future research challenges within the cooperative
communications field
This book is an invaluable guide for professionals and
researchers in communications fields. It will also be of interest
to graduates of communications and electronic engineering courses.
It forms part of an entire series dedicated to cooperative wireless
systems.
