Wireless Communication Systems: Advanced Techniques for Signal Reception (paperback)

Driven by the rapidly escalating capacity demands of emerging wireless systems, researchers have developed a wide array of novel signal processing techniques for use in such systems. Now, two leading researchers synthesize the field's vast new literature, giving working engineers practical guidance for designing advanced wireless receivers.

Drs. Xiaodong Wang and H. Vincent Poor offer a complete framework for developing, analyzing, and understanding the explicit algorithms needed for advanced processing in emerging wireless systems.They address a full range of physical-layer issues, including multipath, dispersion, interference, dynamism , and multiple-antenna systems. In many cases, the authors themselves developed the methods they present. Coverage includes:

• An overview of contemporary wireless signaling environments and basic receiver signal processing techniques

• Blind, group -blind, space-time, and turbo multiuser detection

• Robust multiuser detection in non-Gaussian channels

• Narrowband interference suppression: linear and non-linear predictive techniques, performance comparisons, and more

• Monte Carlo Bayesian signal processing

• Signal processing for fast fading channels

• Advanced signal processing for coded OFDM systems
