There has been significant interest in the research community on detectors for DS-CDMA systems. The conventional detector, which detects users ' data bits, by using a filter matched to the users' spreading codes, has two ...

This dissertation exammes two of the rlsing technologies in the world of wireless, cellular communications - CDMA and the software radio. This thesis covers many of the issues related to these two emerging field s of ...

The rapid growth of wireless subscribers and services as well as the increased use of internet services, suggest that wireless internet access will increase rapidly over the next few years. This will require the ...

The emergence of portable terminals in work and living environments is accelerating the progression of wireless networks. A wireless ad hoc network is a new network concept where users establish peer-to-peer communication ...

Personal wireless communications networks have flourished over the last decade as advances in digital cellular technology have made them more accessible to the general public. Third Generation Cellular Communication ...

The continuous growth in wireless networks is not showing any sign of slowing down as new services, new technologies and new mobile users continue to emerge. Satellite networks are expected to complement the terrestrial ...

Mobile communications are becoming integrated into society at an explosive rate. While 2nd generation (2G) systems limit the user to basic services such as voice and low-bit rate data, 3G networks are characterized by ...

WCDMA promises to achieve high-speed internet, high quality image transmission and high-speed data services with larger system capacity. However, Multiple Access Interference is one of the major causes of transmission ...

An ad-hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes (wireless communication devices) that transmit data over systems that do not require any centralized control, such as that found in cellular networks. This makes ad-hoc ...

Turbo codes are a class of forward error correction (FEC) codes that offer energy efficiencies close to the limits predicted by information theory. The features of turbo codes include parallel code concatenation, recursive ...
