Synopsis

Adaptive Wireless Transceivers provides the reader with abroad overview of near-instantaneously adaptive transceivers in thecontext of TDMA, CDMA and OFDM systems. The adaptive transceiversexamined employ powerful turbo codecs, turbo equalisers andspace-time codecs, equipping the reader with a future-prooftechnological road map. It demonstrates that adaptive transceiversare capable of mitigating the channel quality fluctuations of thewireless channel as a lower-complexity alternative to space-timecoding. By contrast, if the higher complexity of multipletransmitters and multiple receiver-assisted systems is deemedacceptable, the advantages of adaptability erode.
* Provides an in-depth introduction to channel equalisers andKalman filtering and discusses the associated complexity versusperformance trade-offs
* Introduces wideband near-instantaneously adaptive transceiversand studies their performance both with and without turbo channelcoding
* Describes how to optimise adaptive modulation mode switchingand highlights a range of practical considerations
* Introduces neural network based channel equalisers anddiscusses Radial Basis Function (RBF) assisted equalisers embeddedinto adaptive modems supported by turbo channel coding and turbochannel equalisation
* Employs the above adaptive principles also in the context ofCDMA and OFDM transceivers and discusses the pros and cons ofspace-time coding versus adaptive modulation
Researchers, advanced students and practising development engineersworking in wireless communications will all find this valuable textan informative read.
