Systems Engineering in Wireless Communications

<b>This book provides the reader with a complete coverage of radio resource management for 3G wireless communications</b><br /> <br /> <p><i>Systems Engineering in Wireless Communications</i> focuses on the area of radio resource management in third generation wireless communication systems from a systems engineering perspective. The authors provide an introduction into cellular radio systems as well as a review of radio resource management issues. Additionally, a detailed discussion of power control, handover, admission control, smart antennas, joint optimization of different radio resources , and cognitive radio networksis offered. This book differs from books currently available, with its emphasis on the dynamical issues arising from mobile nodes in the network. Well-known control techniques, such as least squares estimation, PID control, Kalman filers, adaptive control, and fuzzy logic are used throughout the book.</p> <p><i>Key Features:</i></p> <ul> <li>Covers radio resource management of third generation wireless communication systems at a systems level</li> <li>First book to address wireless communications issues using systems engineering methods</li> <li>Offers the latest research activity in the field of wireless communications, extending  to the control engineering community</li> <li>Includes an accompanying website containing MATLAB™/SIMULINK™ exercises</li> <li>Provides illustrations of wireless networks</li> </ul> <p>This book will be a valuable reference for graduate and postgraduate students studying wireless communications and control engineering courses, and R&D engineers.</p>
