Theory and Applications of OFDM and CDMA: Wideband Wireless Communications


Description: The aim of this book is to enable the reader to develop a  sound knowledge of wideband communications, such as OFDM, applied in digital audio broadcasting, and CDMA, the foundation of third generation mobile communications. As this is a fast growing field, graduates of engineering  programmes as well as practising engineers should be familiar with the principles of wideband communications, particularly of OFDM and CDMA in connection with mobile radio channels. Thus, a textbook is necessary that provides a far-reaching treatise beginning from fundamentals to modern applications. Focusing on relevant items, the book is intended to be  rigorous, however readable. The fundamentals at the beginning of the book is reduced to a measure that suits the needs of further considerations and derivations, i.e. should  not and can not replace textbooks specialising in digital communications or error-correcting coding etc. Whilst working in industry, the authors were active in the fields of mobile communications (GSM) and digital audio broadcasting (DAB) and have gained a thorough insight while contributing to different digital communication systems in connection with mobile radio channels. The authors felt there was the distinct need for this book through observing the continuous growth of telecommunications and information technology, which has resulted in expanding data transfer and in a need for increased data rate and bandwidth, and the forthcoming new communication systems featuring ever more complex modulation and demodulation techniques. As a result of lecturing at universities in this field the demand for such a textbook has become apparent.

Summary: As the Internet becomes increasingly heterogeneous, the issue of congestion control becomes ever more important. In order to maintain good network performance, mechanisms must be provided to prevent the network from being congested for any significant period of time. Michael Welzl describes the background and concepts of Internet congestion control, in an accessible and easily comprehensible format.  Throughout the book, not just the how, but the why of complex technologies including the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Active Queue Management are explained.  The text also gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in congestion control research and an insight into the future. Network Congestion Control: Presents comprehensive, easy-to-read documentation on the advanced topic of congestion control without heavy maths. Aims to give a thorough understanding of the evolution of Internet congestion control: how TCP works, why it works the way it does, and why some congestion control concepts failed for the Internet. Explains the Chiu/Jain vector diagrams and introduces a new method of using these diagrams for analysis, teaching & design. Elaborates on how the theory of congestion control impacts on the practicalities of service delivery. Includes an appendix with examples/problems to assist learning. Provides an accompanying website with Java tools for teaching congestion control, as well as examples, links to code and projects/bibliography. This invaluable text will provide academics and researchers in computer science, electrical engineering and communications networking, as well as students on advanced networking and Internet courses, with a thorough understanding of the current state and future evolution of Internet congestion control.  Network administrators and Internet service and applications providers will also find Network Congestion Control a comprehensive, accessible self-teach tool.
