Body-centric wireless networking (BCWN) and communications is an emerging 4G technology for short (1-5m) and very short (below 1m) range communications systems, with great potential for applications in healthcare delivery, entertainment, surveillance, and emergency services. This book brings together contributions from a multidisciplinary team of researchers in the field of wireless and mobile communications, signal processing and medical measurements, to present the underlying theory, implementation challenges and applications of this exciting new technology. Topics covered include antennas and radio systems design challenges for BCWNs; on/off body propagation and modelling at narrow band frequencies; ultra wideband radio channel characterization and system modelling for BANs; millimeter-wave radio propagation for BCWN; implantable devices and in-vivo communication challenges for medical technologies; diversity and MIMO front-ends for efficient body-centric wireless communications; on-body antennas and radio channels for GPS applications; materials characterization and flexible structure design for textile-based wearable applications in military and consumer applications; ultra wideband body-centric networks for localization and motion capture; down-scaling to the nano-scale in body-centric nano-networks; and the road ahead for body-centric wireless communication and networks. Advances in Body-Centric Wireless Communication will be of interest to researchers in academia and industry working in telecommunications engineering, antenna design, mobile and wireless networks, and healthcare technologies.

Advances in Wireless Communications covers a broad range of topics in the field of wireless communications, with chapters describing state-of-the-art solutions along with basic theoretical studies in information and communications theory. Thus, the book offers a far-reaching panorama of this exciting field. Contributions have been grouped into six areas. Many of the topics cut across all the protocol layers. In fact, as challenging as the more standard communication theory related problems are, it is the multifaceted and multilayer system problems of wireless and mobile communications that offer the most significant opportunities for breakthroughs. Advances in Wireless Communications offers an abundance of stimulating ideas and presents state-of-the-art technologies relevant to wireless communications. This book furthers the understanding of this exciting and fast-growing field, and the material presented is useful to students and researchers in their own search for new and better solutions towards the realization of the wireless information age. The book may also be used as a text for advanced courses on the topic.

In June 2000, GTEL (Wireless Telecommunications Research Group) at the F- eral University of Ceara ́ was founded by Professor Rodrigo Cavalcanti and his c- leagues with the mission of developing wireless communications technology and impact the development of the Brazilian telecommunications sector. From the start, this research effort has been supported by Ericsson Research providing a dynamic environment where academia and industry together can address timely and relevant research challenges. This book summarized much of the research output that has resulted from GTEL’s efforts. It provides a comprehensive treatment of the physical and multiple access layers in mobile communication systems describing different generations of systems but with a focus on 3G systems. The team of Professor C- alcanti has contributed scienti cally to the development of this eld and built up an impressive expertise. In the chapters that follow, they share their views and kno- edge on the underlying principles and technical trade-offs when designing the air interface of 3G systems. The complexity of 3G systems and the interaction between the physical and m- tiple access layers present a tremendous challenge when modeling, designing, and analyzing the mobile communication system. Herein, the authors tackle this pr- lem in an impressive manner. Their work is very much in line with the developments in 3GPP providing a deeper understanding of the evolution of 3G and also future enhancements.
