Single- And Multi-Carrier Ds-Cdma - IEEE Press by Lajos Hanzo & Lie-Liang Yang & Ee-Lin Kuan & Kai Yen Hardcover

Book Synopsis

This volume is dedicated to a range of CDMA and MC-CDMA transmission aspects of systems designed for communicating over fading wireless channels.

Currently, a technical in-depth book on this subject, which has a similar detailed exposure of the recent advances in CDMA, M-ary CDMA and MC-CDMA, is unavailable. A further attraction of the joint treatment of these topics is that it allows the reader to view their design trade-offs in a comparative context.

Divided into five main parts:

Part I: provides a detailed introduction to the subject of CDMA systems designed for employment in various application

Part II: deals with the currently hot topic of genetic algorithm assisted multiuser detection

Part III: gives a detailed account of new, reduced-complexity M-ary CDMA schemes

Part IV: considers a range of novel MC-CDMA schemes which have the potential of supporting numerous design objectives

Part V: provides an overview of the 3G wireless system proposals and characterises the expected network capacity gains attained with the aid of adaptive CDMA systems

By providing an all-encompassing self-contained treatment this groundbreaking volume will have appeal to researchers, postgraduate students, academics practising research and development engineers working for wireless communications and computer networking companies, as well as senior undergraduate students and technical managers in the field.

From the Back Cover

Since the standardisation of 3G systems significant advances have been made in the field of CDMA systems. The next generation of wireless systems is expected to support a wide variety of multirate services, while achieving an increased spectral efficiency, a high bit rate and satisfying a range of many other demanding specifications.

This all-in-one volume reports on the entire body of recent advances in both single- and multi-carrier DS-CDMA as follows:

• Presents a future-proof system design framework providing backwards compatibility with legacy systems

• Features multiuser detection and interference cancellation, spanning the range of classic and avant-garde CDMA solutions, including genetic algorithm aided systems for blind data and channel estimation

• Covers burst-by-burst adaptive CDMA and blind per-survivor aided CDMA

• Details the entire body of joint coding and modulation aided CDMA, as well as adaptive space-time spreading

• Explains both classic and radically new coded M-ary CDMA

• Includes the body of knowledge on time-frequency spreading aided multicarrier DS-CDMA and code acquisition

• Describes the existing 3G standards and cross-layer optimization aided adaptive modulation as well as beamforming assisted FDD/TDD networking

Such a comprehensive treatment of the subject will have wide-ranging appeal to researchers, advanced students and practising engineers working in wireless communications.
