This comprehensive book will provide a comparative study of adaptive WCDMA, ATDMA, Multicarrier (OFDMA) and Ultra Wide Band (UWB) receiver elements. Special focus will be on the future co-existence of these systems in the evolution of 3G and the elements of the 4G like time-space-frequency coding, MIMO systems, adaptive coding, modulation and turbo equalisation. The emphasis is on the combination of these elements in the latest solutions of multi mode receiver for UMTS, WLAN and UWB systems in so-called reconfigurable/ selfreconfigurable structures, and further on evolution towards software receivers. Channel adaptive and system (network) adaptive concepts will be discussed along with reconfigurable computing and ASIC. Applications are energy aware personal, indoor, and the 3G and 4G of land and satellite mobile radio communications. Cellular networks and wireless LAN will also be included. This book will provide a comparative analysis of the 4G techniques and examine their co-existence and will therefore be a welcome addition to the market. It contains a broad range of topic areas and will appeal to those looking for an insight into future developments. It will analyse and discuss WCDMA, TDMA and the other relevant 4G technologies in one coherent framework.
