Author Description

Benefiting from both time-domain and frequency-domain signal processing techniques, multicarrier systems have the potential for achieving high spectral-efficiency, high-flexibility and low-complexity wireless communications. Multicarrier techniques therefore constitute the promising techniques for implementation of future generations of wideband, broadband and ultra-wideband systems. <p><i>Multicarrier Communications</i> offers comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of numerous topics in the area, covering the fundamental principles of spread-spectrum and multicarrier CDMA as well as more advanced topics such as multiuser detection (MUD), multiuser transmitter preprocessing (MUTP), MIMO and space-time processing. It examines OFDM and various multicarrier CDMA within an unified framework and provides analytical approaches and formulas for error-performance evaluation of numerous multicarrier systems.</p> <ul> <li>Examines MUD and MUTP in parallel to illustrate the strong duality between receiver optimization and transmitter optimization</li> <li>Comprehensively establishes the theory of noncoherent MUD and noncoherent interference suppression</li> <li>Details the body of knowledge on MIMO theory and space-time multicarrier communications</li> <li>Contains tables, diagrams and figures to illustrate the performance results.</li> </ul> <p>Practicing electrical engineers and researchers in wireless communications will find <i>Multicarrier Communications</i> an invaluable guide. It will also be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students on wireless communications courses.</p>
