A comprehensive, encompassing and accessible text examining awide range of key Wireless Networking and Localizationtechnologies
This book provides a unified treatment of issues related to allwireless access and wireless localization techniques. Thebook reflects principles of design and deployment of infrastructurefor wireless access and localization for wide, local, and personalnetworking. Description of wireless access methodsincludes design and deployment of traditional TDMA and CDMAtechnologies and emerging Long Term Evolution (LTE) techniques forwide area cellular networks, the IEEE 802.11/WiFi wireless localarea networks as well as IEEE 802.15 Bluetooth, ZigBee, UltraWideband (UWB), RF Microwave and body area networks used for sensorand ad hoc networks. The principles of wirelesslocalization techniques using time-of-arrival andreceived-signal-strength of the wireless signal used in militaryand commercial applications in smart devices operating in urban,indoor and inside the human body localization are explained andcompared.
Questions, problem sets and hands-on projects enhances thelearning experience for students to understand and appreciate thesubject. These include analytical and practical examples withsoftware projects to challenge students in practically importantsimulation problems, and problem sets that use MatLab.
Key features:
* Provides a broad coverage of main wireless technologiesincluding emerging technical developments such as body areanetworking and cyber physical systems
* Written in a tutorial form that can be used by students andresearchers in the field
* Includes practical examples and software projects to challengestudents in practically important simulation problems
