This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International ICST Conference on Wireless Internet, WICON 2013, held in Shanghai, China, in April 2012. The 20 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover topics such as vehicular communications and heterogeneous networks, cognitive radio and multi-antenn…
Wireless sensor and body area networks (WSN and WBAN respectively) have been seen as a future way to monitor humans’ psycho-physiological signs remotely. There are a number of standards that could be used for building WBAN sytems. However, wireless UWB networks based on IEEE 802.15.4a offer the advantages of a large frequency range and low power spectral density, making it suitable for both W…
This book is unique in presenting channels, techniques and standards for the next generation of MIMO wireless networks. Through a unified framework, it emphasizes how propagation mechanisms impact the system performance under realistic power constraints. Combining a solid mathematical analysis with a physical and intuitive approach to space-time signal processing, the book progressively derives…
