Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a
breakthrough in the design of wireless communications systems, and
is already at the core of several wireless standards. Exploiting
multipath scattering, MIMO techniques deliver significant
performance enhancements in terms of data transmission rate and
interference reduction. This 2007 book is a detailed introduction
to the analysis and design of MIMO wireless systems. Beginning with
an overview of MIMO technology, the authors then examine the
fundamental capacity limits of MIMO systems. Transmitter design,
including precoding and space-time coding, is then treated in
depth, and the book closes with two chapters devoted to receiver
design. Written by a team of leading experts, the book blends
theoretical analysis with physical insights, and highlights a range
of key design challenges. It can be used as a textbook for advanced
courses on wireless communications, and will also appeal to
researchers and practitioners working on MIMO wireless systems.
How can machine learning help the design of future communication
networks - and how can future networks meet the demands of emerging
machine learning applications? Discover the interactions between
two of the most transformative and impactful technologies of our
age in this comprehensive book. First, learn how modern machine
learning techniques, such as deep neural networks, can transform
how we design and optimize future communication networks.
Accessible introductions to concepts and tools are accompanied by
numerous real-world examples, showing you how these techniques can
be used to tackle longstanding problems. Next, explore the design
of wireless networks as platforms for machine learning applications
- an overview of modern machine learning techniques and
communication protocols will help you to understand the challenges,
while new methods and design approaches will be presented to handle
wireless channel impairments such as noise and interference, to
meet the demands of emerging machine learning applications at the
wireless edge.

Wireless technology is a truly revolutionary paradigm shift,
enabling multimedia communications between people and devices from
any location. It also underpins exciting applications such as
sensor networks, smart homes, telemedicine, and automated highways.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the underlying
theory, design techniques and analytical tools of wireless
communications, focusing primarily on the core principles of
wireless system design. The book begins with an overview of
wireless systems and standards. The characteristics of the wireless
channel are then described, including their fundamental capacity
limits. Various modulation, coding, and signal processing schemes
are then discussed in detail, including state-of-the-art adaptive
modulation, multicarrier, spread spectrum, and multiple antenna
techniques. The concluding chapters deal with multiuser
communications, cellular system design, and ad-hoc network design.
Design insights and tradeoffs are emphasized throughout the book.
It contains many worked examples, over 200 figures, almost 300
homework exercises, over 700 references, and is an ideal textbook
for students.
Winner of the 2015 Melbourne Prize Best Writing Award. A novel
about memory, music, friendship, family rifts and reconciliation,
this is a beautiful, intelligent read. Nina Jameson, an
international consultant on memorial projects based in London, has
been happily married to Daniel for twelve years. When her life
falls apart she accepts a job in her hometown of Melbourne. There
she joins her sister, Zoe, embroiled in her own problems with
Elliot, an American biographer of literary women. And she finds
herself caught up in age-old conflicts of two friends from her
past: the celebrated pianist Ramsay Blake and his younger brother,
Sean. All these people have been treading thin ice for far too
long. Nina arrives home to find work, loves and entrenched
obsessions under threat. A rich and compelling story of marriage,
music, the illusions of love and the deceits of memory, THE MEMORY
TRAP's characters are real, flawed and touchingly human.
