Synopsis "space-time processing for cdma mobile communications"
space-time processing for cdma mobile communications is one of the first books to: bring together spatial/temporal channel models and analytic performance evaluation techniques; establish a link between smart antenna systems and advanced receiver design techniques; treat smart antennas specifically for umts-like communication systems, with applicable simulations and calculations; supply code with matlab® gui so readers can run or modify existing simulations or create new ones. the field of smart antenna technology or, more generally, space-time processing is rapidly becoming one of the most promising areas of mobile communications, especially regarding the development of the first practical third-generation mobile communication systems. the authors have addressed many of the most basic questions relating to the use of space-time processing in cdma-based third-generation systems and have presented models for the integration of space-time processing, error correction coding, and multi-user detection techniques. included is extensive background information on cellular systems, antenna array theory, smart antenna techniques, performance of basic space-time processors and advanced space-time processors. the book also includes an extensive simulation program written in matlab®. the simulation code implements both the uplink and the downlink of a umts-like communication system. this provides multiple options for simulating system performance using a variety of channel models as well as receiver structures. space-time processing for cdma mobile communications will be an invaluable reference work for engineers and researchers, and a useful source for design engineers enabling them to understand the implications of adding space-time processing systems to cdma-based communication systems.
