The horizon of the content is then extended to incorporate topics
which have found their way into diverse standard systems. These
include space-time block and trellis codes, as well as other
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) schemes and near-instantaneously
Adaptive Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (AQAM). The book also
elaborates on turbo equalisation by providing a detailed portrayal of
recent advances in partial response modulation schemes using diverse
channel codes.
A radically new aspect for this second edition is the discussion of
multi-level coding and sphere-packing schemes, Extrinsic Information
Transfer (EXIT) charts, as well as an introduction to the family of
Generalized Low Density Parity Check codes.
This new edition includes recent advances in near-capacity
turbo-transceivers as well as new sections on multi-level coding
schemes and of Generalized Low Density Parity Check codes
- Comparatively studies diverse channel coded and turbo detected
systems to give all-inclusive information for researchers, engineers
and students
- Details EXIT-chart based irregular transceiver designs
- Uses rich performance comparisons as well as diverse near-capacity
design examples
Lajos Hanzo
received his Doctorate in 1983 from the Technical University of
Budapest. In 2010 he was awarded the university's highest honour, namely
the Honorary Doctorate "Doctor Honaris Causa". During his
34-year career in telecommunications he has held various research and
academic posts in Hungary, Germany and the UK. Since 1986 he has been a
member of academic staff in the School of Electronics and Computer
Science, University of Southampton, UK, where he currently holds the
Chair in Telecommunications and he is head of the Communications
Research Area. He is also a Chaired Professor at Tsinghua University,
Beijing, China. Lajos Hanzo has co-authored 20 John Wiley/IEEE Press
books on mobile radio communications, and published over 1000 research
papers and book chapters at IEEE Xplore. He has also organised and
chaired major IEEE conferences, such as WCNC'2006, WCNC'2009, VTC'2011,
presented Tutorial/overview lectures at international conferences.
Tong Hooi Liew received his PhD degree in 2001 from the
University of Southampton, UK. Following a one year spell as
postdoctoral research fellow, he joined Ubinetcs in Cambridge, UK in
algorithm design for 3G mobile station. He then joined TTP Group as a
consultant working in mobile TV. Currently he is working as a
consultant for Aeroflex in both physical layer and Layer 2 in various
wireless technologies like 3G HSPA, HSPA+, LTE and advanced LTE
wireless systems. He has over 40 publications in books, book chapters,
journal and conference papers. His research interests are associated
with coding and modulation for wireless channels, space-time coding
and adaptive transceivers.
Ronald Yee Siong Tee received his PhD degree from the
University of Southampton in 2008. He was previously involved in
research collaboration with Nokia UK in signal processing and
handwriting recognition in 2000. From 2001 to 2002 he worked at Nortel
Networks Switzerland in the area of data and optical network. In 2003,
he was with a local Singapore IT company, where he headed the
telecommunication business. Dr. Tee is the recipient of several
academic awards, including the Overseas Research Scheme, the ASEAN
scholarship, and the Malaysian Government studentships. He is
currently with Ernst & Young London, working in forensic
technology and electronic disclosure.
Bee Leong Yeap received his PhD in 2000 from the University of
Southampton, having been fully funded by the University's
Communications Group and the Overseas Research Studentship. He
continued his research as a postdoctoral research fellow in
Southampton until 2004, working on EU projects such as TRUST and
SCOUT. In 2004, he joined RadioScape Plc, London to develop commercial
DAB, DRM and DMB receivers. Subsequently from 2008, he has been with
Motorola Ltd, Ashburton designing Point-to-Point Wireless Ethernet
bridges, which are used to provide connectivity and backhaul for
network carriers, Educational Broadcast Service and Federal agencies.
To date, he has published two John Wiley/IEEE Press books and over 30
research papers. His research interests include MIMO systems, turbo
coding, LDPC, turbo equalisation, space-time coding and adaptive modulation.
Soon Xin Ng received the Ph. D. degree in wireless
communications from the University of Southampton, UK, in December
2002. From 2003 to 2006, he was a postdoctoral research fellow working
on collaborative European research projects known as SCOUT, NEWCOM and
PHOENIX. Since August 2006, he has been a member of academic staff in
the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of
Southampton. He is involved in the OPTIMIX European project as well as
the IU-ATC and UC4G projects. His research interests include adaptive
coded modulation, coded modulation, channel coding, space-time coding,
joint source and channel coding, iterative detection, OFDM, MIMO,
cooperative communications and distributed coding. He has published
over 120 papers and co-authored two John Wiley/IEEE Press books in
this field. He is a senior member of the IEEE and a fellow of the
Higher Education Academy in the UK.
