This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding the design of wireless multimedia communications systems. Covering mobile video, voice, and data communications, it provides both professionals and students with an introduction to the problems and solutions of communicating multimedia traffic at high data rates over a radio channel for short distances. Wireless Multimedia Communications begins with an examination of the physical layer of the Open Systems Interface (OSI) stack, modeling the radio channel impairments, including path loss and multipath distortion. The book addresses infrared and satellite wireless channels and the digital modulation approaches used to convey information over these channels. It compares possible approaches to transmitting multimedia traffic, including equalization, multicarrier modulation, and spread spectrum. The book also presents an in-depth discussion of error control, with a look at the emerging and promising field of turbo coding. At the data link layer, the book presents an evaluation of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols-such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (
A practical review of state-of-the-art non-contiguous multicarrier technologies that are revolutionizing how data is transmitted, received, and processed This book addresses the advantages and the limitations of modern multicarrier technologies and how to meet the challenges they pose using non-contiguous multicarrier technologies and novel algorithms that enhance spectral efficiency, interference robustness, and reception performance. It explores techniques using non-contiguous subcarriers which allow for flexible spectrum aggregation while achieving high spectral efficiency and flexible transmission and reception at lower OSI layers. These include non-contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NC-OFDM), its enhanced version, non-contiguous filter-bank-based multicarrier (NC-FBMC), and generalized multicarrier. Following an overview of current multicarrier technologies for radio communication, the authors examine particular properties of these technologies that allow for more efficient usage within key directions of 5G. They examine the principles of NC-OFDM and discuss efficient transmitter and receiver design. They present the principles of FBMC modulation and discuss key challenges for FBMC communications while comparing performance results with traditional OFDM. They move on from there to a fascinating discussion of GMC modulation within which they clearly demonstrate how that technology encompasses all of the advantages of previously discussed techniques, as well as all imaginable multi- and single-carrier waveforms. Addresses the problems and limitations of current multicarrier technologies (OFDM) Describes innovative techniques using non-contiguous multicarrier waveforms as well as filter-band based and generalized multicarrier waveforms Provides a thorough review of the practical limitations and solutions for evolving and breakthrough 5G communication technologies Explores the future outlook for non-contiguous multicarrier technologies as regards their greater industrial realization, hardware practicality, and other challenges Advanced Multicarrier Technologies for Future Radio Communication: 5G and Beyondis an indispensable working resource fortelecommunication engineers, researchers and academics, as well as graduate and post-graduate students of telecommunications. At the same time, it provides a fascinating look at the shape of things to come for telecommunication industry executives, telecom operators, regulators, policy makers, and economists.
