Description
Mobile Broadband Multimedia Networks: Techniques, Models and Tools for 4th Generation Communication Networks provides the main results
of the prestigious and well known European COST 273 research project on the development of next generation mobile and wireless communication
systems.
Based on the applied research of over 350 participants in academia and industry, this book focuses on the radio aspects of
mobile and wireless broadband multimedia communications, by exploring and developing new methods, models, techniques, strategies and
tools towards the implementation of 4th generation mobile and wireless communication systems.
This complete reference includes topics
ranging from transmission and signal processing techniques to antennas and diversity, ultra wide band, MIMO and reference scenarios for
radio network simulation and evaluation.
This book will be an ideal source of the latest developments in mobile multimedia broadband
technologies for researchers, R&D engineers, graduates and engineers in industry implementing simulation models and conducting measurements.
Audience
R&D communications engineers working in mobile and wireless communications, academic researchers
