From the Publisher:
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband channels at different frequencies.
CDMA is a form of multiplexing, which allows numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimising the use of available bandwidth. Multiplexing is sending multiple signals or streams of information on a carrier at the same time in the form of a single, complex signal and then recovering the separate signals at the receiving end.
Multi-Carrier (MC) CDMA is a combined technique of Direct Sequence (DS) CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and OFDM techniques. It applies spreading sequences in the frequency domain.
Wireless communications has witnessed a tremendous growth during the past decade and further spectacular enabling technology advances are expected in an effort to render ubiquitous wireless connectivity a reality.
This technical in-depth book is unique in its detailed exposure of OFDM, MIMO-OFDM and MC-CDMA. A further attraction of the joint treatment of these topics is that it allows the reader to view their design trade-offs in a comparative context.
Divided into three main parts:
Part I provides a detailed exposure of OFDM designed for employment in various applications
Part II is another design alternative applicable in the context of OFDM systems where the channel quality fluctuations observed are averaged out with the aid of frequency-domain spreading codes, which leads to the concept of MC-CDMA
Part III discusses how to employ multiple antennas at the base station for the sake of supporting multiple users in the uplink
Portrays theentire body of knowledge currently available on OFDMProvides the first complete treatment of OFDM, MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)-OFDM and MC-CDMAConsiders the benefits of channel coding and space time coding in the context of various application examples and features numerous complete system design examplesConverts the lessons of Shannon's information theory into design principles applicable to practical wireless systemsCombines the benefits of a textbook with a research monograph where the depth of discussions progressively increase throughout the book

This all-encompassing self-contained treatment will appeal to researchers, postgraduate students and academics, practising research and development engineers working for wireless communications and computer networking companies and senior undergraduate students and technical managers.

Single- and Multi-carrier Quadrature Amplitude Modulation : Principles and Applications for Personal Communications, WLANs and Broadcasting

Against the backdrop of the emerging 3G wireless personal communications standards and broadband access network standard proposals, this volume covers a range of coding and transmission aspects for transmission over fading wireless channels. It presents the most important classic channel coding issues and also the exciting advances of the last decade, such as turbo coding, turbo equalisation and space-time coding. It endeavours to be the first book with explicit emphasis on channel coding for transmission over wireless channels. Divided into 4 parts: Part 1 - explains the necessary background for novices. It aims to be both an easy reading text book and a deep research monograph. Part 2 - provides detailed coverage of turbo conventional and turbo block coding considering the known decoding algorithms and their performance over Gaussian as well as narrowband and wideband fading channels. Part 3 - comprehensively discusses both space-time block and space-time trellis coding for the first time in literature. Part 4 - provides an overview of turbo equalisations, also referred to as turbo demodulation. The book systematically converts the lessons of Shannon's information theory into design principles applicable to practical wireless systems. It provides overall design performance studies, giving cognizance to the contradictory design requirements of bit error rate, implementational complexity, coding and interleaving delay, effective throughput, coding rate and other related systems design aspects in a comprehensive manner.

Turbo Coding, Turbo Equalisation and Space-Time Coding

A coding theory approach to error control in redundant residue number systems (RRNSs) is presented. The concepts of Hamming weight, minimum distance, weight distribution, and error detection and correction capabilities in redundant residue number systems are introduced. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the desired error control capability are derived from the minimum distance point of view. Closed-form expressions are derived for approximate weight distributions. Computationally efficient procedures are described for correcting single errors. A coding theory framework is developed for redundant residue number systems, and an efficient numerical procedure is derived for a single error correction. >

A coding theory approach to error control in redundant residue number systems. I. Theory and single error correction

For pt.I see ibid., vol.39, no.1, p.8-17 (1992). The coding theory approach to error control in redundant residue number systems (RRNSs) is extended by deriving computationally efficient algorithms for correcting multiple errors, single-burst-error, and detecting multiple errors. These algorithms reduce the computational complexity of the previously known algorithms by at least an order of magnitude. >

A coding theory approach to error control in redundant residue number systems. II. Multiple error detection and correction

The authors develop a coding theory approach to error control in residue number system product codes. Based on this coding theory framework, computationally efficient algorithms are derived for correcting single errors, double errors, and multiple errors, and simultaneously detecting multiple errors and additive overflow. These algorithms have lower computational complexity than previously known algorithms by at least an order of magnitude. In addition, it is noted that all the literature published thus far deals almost exclusively with single error correction. >

On theory and fast algorithms for error correction in residue number system product codes

The much celebrated Chinese Remainder Theorem has been widely employed in designing fast computationally efficient algorithms in the field of digital signal processing. It has two versions. One is over a ring of integers and the second is over a ring of polynomials with Coefficients defined over a field. In this research work, we extend the Chinese Remainder Theorem to the case of a ring of polynomials with coefficients defined over a finite ring of integers. The entire work is closely related to the already established results on finite fields. This extension is expected to serve as a keystone in the future design of number-theoretic algorithms for performing some of the most computationally intensive tasks. This approach is superior to the number-theoretic-transforms in the sense that the limitations on both the word length and the sequence length are completely removed. In fact, the number-theoretic-transforms may be considered as a very special case of our general approach. Furthermore, the computations required in this work. Which inherits all the merits of the Chinese Remainder Theorem, can be performed in parallel. >

Rings, fields, the Chinese remainder theorem and an extension-Part I: theory

For pt. I, see ibid., vol. 41, no. 10, p. 641-55 (1994). In Part I of the research work, we introduced an extension to the well known Chinese remainder theorem for processing polynomials with coefficients defined over a finite integer ring. We term this extension as the American-Indian-Chinese extension of the Chinese remainder theorem. A systematic procedure for factorizing a monic polynomial into pairwise relatively prime monic factor polynomials over integer rings was presented. This factorization is based on the corresponding factor polynomials, monic and relatively prime, over the associated finite field containing prime number of elements. In this paper, we study the application of the theory developed in Part I to deriving computationally efficient algorithms for performing tasks having multilinear form. Especially, we focus on the cyclic and acyclic convolution as they are two of the most frequently occurring computationally intensive tasks in digital signal processing. >
