Systems Engineering in Wireless Communications

This book provides the reader with a complete coverage of radioresource management for 3G wireless communications Systems Engineering in Wireless Communications focuses onthe area of radio resource management in third generation wirelesscommunication systems from a systems engineering perspective. Theauthors provide an introduction into cellular radio systems as wellas a review of radio resource management issues. Additionally, adetailed discussion of power control, handover, admission control,smart antennas, joint optimization of different radio resources ,and cognitive radio networksis offered. This book differs frombooks currently available, with its emphasis on the dynamicalissues arising from mobile nodes in the network. Well-known controltechniques, such as least squares estimation, PID control, Kalmanfilers, adaptive control, and fuzzy logic are used throughout thebook. Key Features: * Covers radio resource management of third generation wirelesscommunication systems at a systems level * First book to address wireless communications issues usingsystems engineering methods * Offers the latest research activity in the field of wirelesscommunications, extending to the control engineeringcommunity * Includes an accompanying website containingMATLAB(TM)/SIMULINK(TM) exercises * Provides illustrations of wireless networks This book will be a valuable reference for graduate andpostgraduate students studying wireless communications and controlengineering courses, and R&D engineers.
