Publisher's Synopsis
A communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and data terminal equipment usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. The text Communications System Engineering Handbook provides an exposition of the theory for communications system. First chapter provides an overview of the major distortionless PAPR reduction techniques, namely, partial transmit sequence (PTS), selective mapping (SLM), and tone reservation (TR). Second chapter describes the design and prototype implementation of a communication platform aiming to provide voice and video communication in a distributed networking environment. In third chapter, we introduce a new concept of access control for enhancing the security of the SIP-based communications. Fourth chapter focuses on the code synchronization problem in spread spectrum (SPSP) communications. In fifth chapter, we propose a system and explain the development of a prototype that uses a wireless connection between a passive force sensor, located within a splint in the mouth cavity, and an active external unit that energizes the sensor and permanently records all force measurements. Sixth chapter provides a complete system level evaluation of a UWB-based communication and location system for wireless sensor networks, including aspects such as UWB-based ranging, tracking algorithms, latency, target mobility and MAC layer design. The design of CMOS integrated q-enhanced RF filters for multi-band/mode wireless applications has been outlined in seventh chapter. Eighth chapter focuses on trends of the optical wireless communications. Ninth chapter deals with connectivity prediction in mobile vehicular environments backed by digital maps. Tenth chapter draws on research traditions and insights from criminology to elaborate on the problems associated with current practices of measuring scientific misconduct. Last chapter presents an overview of the energy consumption problems of wireless communication networks and describes the techniques that have been used to improve the energy efficiency of these networks.
